Do you think supermarkets selling cheap booze is enticing those people that were regular pub goers to stay at home and drink as they can no longer afford to go to the pub and socialise,do you think we will see more and more pubs closing?

I think it was banning smoking that killed the pubs here. Who wants to stand outside for a cig when it's -45 C. laugh

I still go out for a smoke, regardless of the weather. I don't tend to feel it as much with a few pints of "antifreeze" in me. laugh

Find a pub with a smoking area and heaters in it. We got them here and some of them are very well set up.
Sometimes the smoking area is more sociable then the pub itself! :)

Yes I do. A night out here is shockingly expensive. I really feel it when I come back from SA, where the price of, say, a pint, is about a quarter of the price here. It's crazy mumbling

True, I was charged 6.50 for a pint in Dublin, that is just madness, and it wasn't even a nice pint.laugh
