Pubs closing, not that I'm aware of as for not doing food that's where most of a pubs income comes from, although it may change when this smoking ban comes in

smiley - rofl smoking ban ... silly european ideas ...
I stopped smoking ages ago (never smoked really that much), and I spent a few years in E-Europe .. where the really heavy (concentrated tar) smokers smoke .. I never bothered about anyone smoking near; in a building, office, certainly not in a pub.
And Dutch newspapers have this page long article every .. mm .. year or so ... about English pubs closing down, pub-business going bad, less and less customers, dramatic developments, yah yah yah..
but I think it's roughly the same article every year so ...
