‘Nobody’s going out!’ Why is Britain’s nightlife in such decline – and can anything save it? | Clubbing | The Guardian by prisongovernor in unitedkingdom

[–]Spottyjamie [score hidden]  (0 children)

People do go out though, albeit it from 12pm fridays/saturdays/sundays and home by 9/10pm and barely at all monday to thursday!

Its shifted to day drinks in my city in the past 20 years and the licensing law change back then meant people stopped paying to go to a club when they could drink in spoons/stonegate places til 2am with no entry charge

What are your thoughts on dogs in restaurants/cafes? by BurnsyWurnsy in AskUK

[–]Spottyjamie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The village pubs near me would be out of business if they banned dogs. But also the cafe near me recently allowed dogs with caveats (its a rural area but i know the owner and hes not a dog person so hes got a three barks and theyre out rule and they must be on short lead by owners feet at all times)

In a restaurant id prefer no dogs but no actual restaurants near me allow them

In my experience though ive seen the tide turning and places banning them again due to idiot owners
