destruction of proper pubs.
Pretty sure that is actually a combo of 1. Property value. 2. Smoking ban. 3. High prices. 4. Young people not drinking as much alcohol.
If your old clients can't smoke and afford to drink, and your new potential clients go to the gym or coffee shop, then you're stuck with adapting your existing offering.

The dreaded 'Craft Beer' - another Tory tax dodge - also has a lot to answer for in terms of the destruction of proper pubs.
