Re: Pub Closures

Cans from the supermarket around the barbie doesn't help.

nd that is a big factor on the estates like Rumney, Trowbridge, St Mellon’s ,Llanedeyrn & Llanrumney cheap tins bought on mass from nearby supermarkets , almost everyone has a car or sorts now, unlike in my day where as youngsters (ie just out of puberty ) your main objective as a lad in Llanrumney was sneaking into pubs in Old St Mellons like the, Cross Bluebell , Star , White Hart and Fox and Goodies in Llanrumney etc ..

Kids of same age now are locked in their bedrooms killing people via call of duty , i'd rather a cider or playing footy

It's crap as well. Went there a while ago, greeted by someone who told us where we could and couldnt sit (despite covid finishing) said we could go to one table but only for an hour as someone else had booked it. Place was busy, full of hipsters dressed as working class folk, taking photos of their pints or applying a variety of filters to the photo just taken before uploading to instagram. Don't think they took cash, was expensive and full of street food which is basically food that costs double the cost of food you actually buy on the street. Everyone looked miserable as sin. Plastic glasses too. Rubbish. As was the old Corporation mind, mainly because it was the exact opposite of the above! Something in the middle suits me!

No wonder young people are so unhappy.

How many times, :facepalm:, you cannot have a “plastic glass”, it’s either a “glass” or a “plastic receptacle” !

£7.10 and served in a plastic glass... err, I mean.. 'receptacle'? :hehe:

I used to be a regular Guinness drinker back in the day. I would often give the bar person a 'look' if they gave me anything other than a proper Guinness glass (Guinness and harp logo).

Re: Pub Closures

the going to the pub habit has gone for many, Covid meant we realised we can do other things, I used to go to the pub with some of my teams other coaches once a month, now we go for a meal

Quite a few of my mates, late 40’s, all stopped going to pubs through covid and now can’t be arsed with it at all.
I prob go once a month to a local, that’s enough…..

Don’t think I’ll be going there then, has that obscene looking red bow or whatever it been taken down yet?

Re: Pub Closures

Brexit has also had a big effect on hospitality.

Cost of living , pay freezes , change in habits.

Hardly suprising businesses going to the wall.

Brexit has had nothing to do with pub closures though.

Re: Pub Closures

The pub was a traditional place to meet people relax and have a chin wag, play pool or darts...now! if you uncork a designer IPA they are charging champagne prices.
