Its why most buy their beer in supermarkets where they are a fraction of the price!<br />Also most are just footy dens of mindless men glued to 'the big screen' like a UFO just landed, so making conversation is practically impossible with these neanderthals about.<br />If you're a guy the loos are always a nightmare to find, unlike the womens' where they are practically signposted all the way and conveniently located which is rather odd given that pubs are designed around men and their needs traditionally.<br />I will concede that if you do find a good one thats people friendly with a sizeable garden, decent beers at decent prices, good food (even rarer) and live bands then its heaven.<br />Otherwise i prefer to stay in and enjoy my own beer bought from a supermarket entertaining myself or my own friends with my HI FI and Home Movie Cinema Sound in the luxury, safety and comfort of my own house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737639979248917027.post-70874677903143039422012-06-10T16:12:47.599-07:002012-06-10T16:12:47.599-07:00One thing they did in North America was change the...One thing they did in North America was change the design of homes.

As the commercial game ingrains itself deeper and deeper in everybody's lives, you can see very many avenues for community living disappear everywhere, not just in Britain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737639979248917027.post-77788426226299395802012-06-10T15:16:57.737-07:002012-06-10T15:16:57.737-07:00Interesting take on the war on pubs.

I mean, from experience, my son is a landlord (tenant not manager).<br /><br />His yearly rates are £25,000. On top of VAT, PAYE and literally endless official red tape costs, staff, paying for the Mafiosi protection racket that the tied house system has become.<br /><br />What does this establishment get for £25,000 a year plus 20% vat on all revenue?<br /><br />They have to pay for trash removal because the council won't collect it. Police are useless - there are so many incidents where the police can't or won't even attend let alone investigate eat-and-run frauds and attempted break-ins etc.<br /><br />In short, my son's business gets nothing for all this massive outlay except yet more gov agencies checking on this that the other and then imposing all sorts of regulations that cost huge amounts. <br /><br />Pubs have been the backbone of British life for many hundreds of years. They're where people and communities would get together to sort out local issues informally. That's why they are so dangerous.<br />= It's real community and real strength. <br /><br />Not approved in a culture where divide and rule is the project.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737639979248917027.post-89086581703967755252012-06-10T09:37:55.583-07:002012-06-10T09:37:55.583-07:00I believe once the EDL begn using pubs as their me...I believe once the EDL begn using pubs as their meeting points and stagging point pubs began to be seen as venues of racists, unemployed, bitter and angry violent males.

Pubs are frequented by the white Caucasian male here in Britain. Most of these males become uncontrollable when drunk. Most of these males become drunk. Pubs are a racist hotbed of the useless. You are there to drink and talk. What enlightening talk can come out of drink? None.<br /><br />Most immigrants and tourists do not to pubs, therefore it is a case of 'you' adapt to 'us' attitude. In a pub, there will always be more of 'us' than 'you'.<br />Like the dogs that are strong in number, singled out they run away.<br /><br />Therefore pubs should be closed down and only those deemed worthy of continuance should be kept. Men will drink no matter where they are if they want to drink. Better at home in private than show your ignorance in public.SSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737639979248917027.post-38104575731916384612012-06-10T02:32:41.395-07:002012-06-10T02:32:41.395-07:00Walk into a Pub in Canada and chances are the firs...Walk into a Pub in Canada and chances are the first person to strike up conversation will be an Undercover looking to entrap you.
