BEWARE,OR YOU WILL LOSE WHAT IS MOST PRECIOUS

I am talking here about something that has bothered me for a long time now,the dangerous situation that has snook up on all of us over the last ten years or so,the plight of the local pub.Years ago there was one on every corner of every street,now they are disappearing faster than Usain Bolt runs his 100 metres.Even round here the Duck has gone along with the Sussex and the Royal Oak,Wivelsfield Green.This has been mirrored all round the country with pubs closing at the rate of six or seven a week.Lots of things conspire against the pub,drinking and driving,the smoking ban and round here the Bars that have sprung up in town,and take pretty much all the lunchtime trade and all the "cool" trade too,tho how cool it is to go to the same bar for years i am not so sure,but how and ever.Eventually more and more pubs will be lost and eventually you will be left with bars in towns,because they are doing business and good luck to them,but i will ask you this in 20 years time will people still want to go to bars? well they wont have a choice because i think the thing that foreign people admire about Great Britain,the Pub will be extinct,and who will be to blame? Joe Public thats who,because he and she have deserted pubs in huge numbers ,causing the above problems.Nowadays life is too fast,very few people are individuals anymore they want their mates like a baby wants its mother,everything must be on tap,and not too far away,does not matter that you have done the same thing in the same place for the last ten years.Life has always been similar i suppose except now its all happening in Bars and not Pubs,so whats the answer i hear you say,unfortunately i dont know,but hopefully someone will heed the warning signs before it is too late.
