30 years ago pubs would survive with the regulars on a lunchtime or Sunday night playing darts or cards
But now that big groups of people , work nights , stag and hens etc are fading the extra money from the booze crew is the main source of income and it just isn't enough
You always get everyone making a fuss when a pub announces its closing down but where have these people been ?
If a pub is the centre of a community then the locals have got to use it or that's it
Village pubs have completely had it
