that is only part of the reason its the fabric of society its not a coincedence that the rot set in when the factories closed that the pubs hand in hand started to decline. remember the friday night when you finished for the week and the first thing you looked forward to was going out to the pub the pubs were bustling then. now the service industries have took over ,people work at the weekend more and you cant go into work rough now.plus people spend their money on more materialistic items such as computers,sky tv and mobile phones.
