Can’t say as it makes any odds to me, more important is the beer and the staff. I’ve changed local three times over the last year or so, because of changes and attitude at the pub, and one of those was a pub I’d been visiting for thirty-odd years. None of them were in town, but in outlying villages.
When you’re used to leaving a pub at midnight, still being asked if you want another, then a new regime starts calling time at 10.45, and all the locals go elsewhere as well, you know it’s time to find somewhere else.
Oh, and I’m 57, and there are older and younger in my ‘new local’, which is four miles away.
