Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

A range of alcoholic drinks

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

As a NATO/Ukraine supporter, since you're so blown away and angered by Trump putting Zelensky in his place yesterday, why don't you support the Ukraine by joining the Ukrainian army? There's 200,000,000+ of you. Put your money where your mouths are.

They need to offer either food of a quality you can’t get at home (true gastro-pub experience) or alternative entertainments - live music, poker nights, sports viewing etc.

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

Quia et magnam illo.

You can get takeaway or even cook yourself a wider range of food of good quality

Comfortable seating in a warm, cozy environment, or a nice pub garden

You can get a wider range of quality drinks at lower prices from a supermarket

You have to understand what the attraction of the English pub was in the first place.
