Lets not forget the role HMRC plays in this either. |
Absolutely. I would be in favour of a reduction in business rates for smaller and independent pubs, as well as a cut in beer duty consumed in pubs and Social clubs, but not in supermarkets. |  |

When did you last drink in town ? The Spread Eagle and The Navigation have been shut for ages. The old Yates stopped being Yates a while ago, it's changed it's name a few times since the Yates dats. |
Admittedly I don’t go out in Rochdale anymore. My days of busting a few shapes in kokos and Pacific are over. |  | | |

Also, central heating, massive TVs, the internet & multiple channels make staying home a lot more tempting than in the past. |  | | |

It’s getting the same everywhere, my nearest pub in Ipswich is a mile away, and now looking for new management. There are loads of reasons why pubs have gone, taxation, breweries selling off or upping rents when a pub becomes successful, smoking ban, lack of disposable income, cheap beer in supermarket. I can get 36 cans of beer for the price of 5 pub pints, not including taxi etc.
When I lived in Rochdale the 4 houses I had were less than 300 yards from the nearest pub, sandknockers, Oxford, waggon and horses and baileys. At least 2 have gone to my knowledge.
20 years or so back I was paying about £1.75 for a pint in the local, and cans were about the same as they are today in the supermarket, always had a good laugh, game of cards, pool and a load of banter. Football teams, pool teams, darts teams meant it was busy every most nights and all day weekend, after time if you were a regular and the police turned a blind eye as long as no trouble.
The days of Whitworth rd pub crawl, must have been about 20 pubs from the gale to the roundabout, including the industry, sawyers, 3 ships, Britannia have gone sadly. And they were great times.
I barely go out now as the use of shoving expensive white shit up your nose and getting aggressive or impossible to understand seems to be the main source of entertainment, not a game of 9 card Dom. Was about 20 years ago of course but not to the level of today.
I think I must be getting old!!!!! |  |

Yeah you're right there. Plenty of pubs had outside toilets in the old days. | | | |
