Hi All
The following statistic fills me with sadness
-- one of the GREAT things in the UK are the various pubs they have -- great establishments that have never been entirely copied satisfactorily around the world in spite of many valiant attempts to do so---.
The UK has currently around 56,000 pubs - but according to the Stock Exchange around 2,000 are closing every year --so by simple mathematics you've only got 28 years drinking time left --enjoy while you can
(Of course it probably won't all end like that but it just shows whenever statistics are quoted make exactly sure what the figures REALLY mean as you can manipulate them in all sorts of ways).
Cheers
