Think that also was a small factor, i was on about where the rot started barrie, i.e. lost revenue fer landlords, many blokes used to pop in the vaults, lunch, n after work fer a hour, that revenue was lost in many cases,n there were many more boozers back then. perhaps the youth factor also worsened by the closure of dance halls, cinemas, youth clubs, leaving em little choice but those new "Open" pubs?
