It is a worry.. speaking for myself when I do venture out to some parts I usually end up in a working men's clubs up north.. Lancashire, Northumberland, Cumbria.. all are first class and drinks are well priced..I don't think there is a demise of WMC's.. the pubs have far more problems.

if yer being honest the demise started late 70s early 80s? yet ya don't think there is a demise. makes perfect sense.
