To be honest, i don't really understand the detrimental effect the pub closures are having on people, although i do understand that some people need more social interaction than others, especially those who live on their own. i'd say that the two aren't mutually exclusive, there are other ways to socialise. I suppose that people need to adapt, it's not ideal, but if people care about each over then they'll find a way. I'm hardly a Hermit
i just don't find most peoples company that stimulating, in fact i get bored very quickly and would much rather do something by myself. I do have people that i see from time to time, those people i like and respect.
