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?

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

A range of alcoholic drinks

Back in the day (early 20th century and before) the English pub offered things you couldn’t get in a working-class home:

Hickman's just lost 95% of Arizona chickens to bird flu and says it will take 2 years to rebuild - KJZZ

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

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

But now:

Is it very wrong to want to spend some time with husband after continuous work for 5 days in a weekend because my husband thinks if we go out every weekend what night my parents and other family members think?

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

The pubs with the best chance of survival long-term recognize that they can’t just get away with the same 3 beers, ropey wine and pub-grub. Why pay more for something worse than you can get at home for less?

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

Why has Trump suddenly lost the massive momentum he had after his assassination attempt where everybody thought he had secured the presidency?

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

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

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.

Instead of worrying about your weight, focus on avoiding fragility - CNN

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