I haven’t been to England in 15 years, but it seemed that pubs were catering to an older crowd and seen as more stodgy and uncool. the young folks were going to clubs and discos.
Well, that may be it — but the Baby Boomer crowd is now the Stodgy Crowd. They’ve been driving economic trends for 50 years. But maybe they’re still in the clubs, refusing to just sit quietly and have a Guinness at their local pub.

Drunks love tossing dwarfs.
