The no smoking ban was the biggest killer for pubs and most places going.

Before that removing the smokers room that had exhaust fans to remove the smoke from the room.

Changing to open plan rooms was there biggest mistake.

It also allowed smoking staff to go in there.

If you ban anymore you might as well close down the pubs as they are struggerling to make ends meet as it is.

The tax/duty the pubs are charged compared to what the supermarkets can get away with is what kills the pubs.

I nipped in spoons one afternoon last week for a quick bite to eat inbetween appointments and it was like a bloody nursery. Full of mums with young babies, prams everywhere. Couldn't hear myself think over screaming kids. So based on that I'm gunna say children. When our kids was little we use to meet in parks for picnics with a flask. Wasn't a great mummy look either, baby in one hand and a pint in the other

Coffee machines are a popular 'no go' with some more traditional boozers. A bar manager I know says that'll be the day he resigns. Thing is I drink a heck of a lot more coffee than I drink booze these days. I'd be quite happy for half-decent coffee and some root beers.

It's Inches cider on tap....seems pretty cheap to me...but it is London. Lol! I normally just drink the strong bow on tap in there. Nah it's the only pub close to the estates and the uni so it needs to stay cheap. People this end aren't loaded or pretentious enough to drink craft beer or craft cider. Lol!

"Shit décor, same songs they’ve played for past 20 years, drinks above £5 and clothes. Anything different or enticing would be a breath of fresh air."

There's a famous pub in Soho (Coach and Horses) that was granted a nudist licence. They held a naked singalong to protest against Fullers brewery buying up the boozer.

Not sure they assume everybody likes anything. But its a numbers game. If they advertise and put footie on... They get more footfall. Not sure many other sports or events would have the same effect.

"What should be banned in pubs? Definitely closing time! Or at least let them open until a more sensible hour, ridiculous that they close so early.

And excessive taxes on alcohol need banning too."

Pubs can stay open till all hours, if they choose, can't they? The last licensing act in 2005 basically got rid of permitted hours so each licensee can now apply to be open whenever they like (subject to local authority approval, obviously). One assumes your local is open during the hours it can staff and when there is enough demand?

Unfortunately not- local councils and mayors etc don't understand the night time economy at all.

Then there's the Muppets who move to an area to be trendy (like Hackney) then bitch about people enjoying themselves....

Agreed I hate football and, in my opinion, attracts some right twats who think everyone in the pub wants to hear them screaming and shouting because some overpaid d list actor is throwing himself on the floor and rolling around, motorike racing definitely an improvement.

Smoking in garden tables .

Is very disturbing , can’t even seat or eat a meal on a garden as is all smokers puffing right in your face .

Should be a smoke zone …

They shouldn’t be allowed smoke walking in streets pavements on top of us either

Is not fair . Forcing to smoke that crap .

They should hide away from people

As a polite common sense .

Smoke at your place , or in your car or go to a smokers coffee shop

Smoke in our faces as u try enter a super market walking kids

Fed up of it .

No manners

Why don’t they walk away to smokers area on side of buildings

Need stand by door in your face

Modern food

When I was younger the menu always had

Starter - Prawn cocktail

Main - Scampi n Chips.

You can hardly find those anymore.

Also when I was younger, most kids weren't allowed in pubs. If mum n dad went, we had to stay in the car and they bought drinks out to us.

Also dogs.

Having to put up with other peoples dogs, coming upto you, sniffing for food. The owners smile and say something like "he's just being frindly, just likes to say hello". I love dogs, but not other peoples.

Perhaps I could agree with all but kids which are fine if in designated ones and the parents actually do show some parental responsibility rather than let them ran amock amongst other customers. Dogs too are ok when their owners look after them properly and again in places that are assigned to do so. I went somewhere last weekend and they had a pets cafe as well as another one. I chose the pets one and was great, much more pleasant than the other one they had which was full of loud people and screaming kids that you could not relax at all. It's the loud big screens, the unruly customers that take over the place and people having loud conversations on their phones that are the biggest problem in pubs imo. People seem to feel entitled yo behave as they wish in public spaces these days irrespective of how their behaviour affects others and their enjoyment.

How can you ban alcohol from pubs? It wouldn't be a pub then would it,it would be something completely different like a house or a bleedin temperance shop
