Is it? Really? That's what they said in Ireland. I believe that over
there pubs have opened, rather than closed.

Yes, it is, really. The pubs that are doing OK are the big town
ones, the village ones are going to the wall, as they are over here.

They have been going to the wall for decades.

Some, yes. Not most. Mine locals certainly weren't.

Bizarrely, my local, which has chucked its customers outside because
most of them are smokers, have not had the interior filled up by
non-smoking drinkers, like the nsd's said they would do in the
fictitious polls commissioned by the powers-that-be in the run up to
the only law I believe that has ever been passed in this country
based solely on an opinion poll.

And all that is fact.

In your mind perhaps.
