Question for the Brits

[DarkDragon]

Is the British pub really endangered or is this just a bullshit article ?

No, British pubs are totally endangered because in a shitty economy and rising taxes, nobody has £3.20 to spend on a pint.

It's true. A lot of them are being converted into yuppie bars. It's a shame.

Even the Nazis couldn't put an end to the British pub... Damned economy.

What's a yuppie bar? I've always wanted to sit down and have a pint at a place like the Queen Vic. That would be #1 on the list if I ever went to the UK.

Some village pubs are becoming post offices too (also endangered).

What's a yuppie bar?

It's a trendy bar in other words. Just with all the atmosphere of a pub sucked out of it and replaced with middle class pricks instead. The area I live in is full of them.

At least you still have a middle class.

[The Jackal]

I've got no problem with middle-class people; just "yuppies"; e.g. rude wankers who buy organic food and Diet pepsi like sheep and have no manners. The area I dwell is crawling with them and they really wind me up.

Can't believe this thread has got this far without an only fools and horses gif.
