Exactly. Easier to blame a nanny-state government than a materialistic general public...

I think the decline of the "Great British Pub" started years ago...

Would you rather go down the pub and talk to some barfly or:

Watch Sky/DVD/BluRay/torrented films
on your f**koffgreatbig Plasma TV
surrounded by the brand new furniture
that you've decked your house out in
on the instruction of Kirsty & Phil/Beeny et al
because doing your house up was going to make you a fortune

I can't work out my old boozer in Bury St Edmunds. Used to have a good crowd in most night of the week, rammed on Friday/Saturdays til about 9/10pm before the trek to Brazilias. That was 8-10 years ago and its been declining sharply ever since. Think New Years before last I was one of 6 people in there.
