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?

In the mid to late 20th century they added food, without the inconvenience of cooking it or washing up.

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