Pubs

[Wash DC Blue]

It's quite sad that snaggs seems to think that if the some of the public haven't the option to go to the pub, then their only alternative is to sit at home getting smashed on cheap booze, like it's some kind on natural regression. Say it quietly, there are other options.

To you, a self confessed optional social semi hermit who doesn’t enjoy going to the pub.
Widows/Widowers, Singletons and many others differ to you and rely on establishments like the Local Pub or Workingmens Club for company, comradeship and routine.

The lack of empathy or understanding of this is astounding.

Mental health, quite rightly has dominated our conscience for a number of years now.
Do you understand the detrimental effect the lack of such ingrained social outlets can have on some right now?

Much as I understand the detrimental effect that Covid has on some people.

I didn't. I understand it and feel the same way, but we both know that wasn't the point of my post, don't we?

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.

there are other ways to socialise

Think you are a bit unique like that Tuerto, is it you that said you dont sit around much and will do work or DIY a lot? Unlike some I can’t recall who says what on here I’m a bit like you too, always got things I can get on with but as much as I get bored very quickly it’s good to catch up and hear other people’s opinions even if I don’t agree.....
