@neonbubble As a lover of old #British #pubs, I have to say that’s very sad!
Here in #Germany, the situation is much the same.
Here too, old #Kneipen – as pubs are called here – are dying out.
This is certainly happening even faster since the pandemic.
Pubs used to be an integral part of social life, a place for people to get together.
I fear that fewer and fewer people feel the need for them.
In my opinion, this is one aspect of our #society that is changing for the worse.... -

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
Punctuality is a quality the need of which is bound up with social co-operation. It has nothing to do with the relation of the soul to God, or with mystic insight, or with any of the matters with which the more elevated and spiritual moralists are concerned. One would be surprised to find a saint getting drunk, but one would not be surprised to find him late for an engagement. And yet in the ordinary business of life punctuality is absolutely necessary.
Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 2 “The Negative Theory of Education” (1932)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/856…
