Even before the pandemic pubs were in trouble as immigrants shunned British traditions and even Brits went gaga for vindaloo. Midsomer Murders is a British mystery TV show where almost every episode included a side plot of a couple struggling to keep a pub afloat.

Usually the taxes. When I moved to the city where I live 30 years ago, there were little taverns every few blocks. Now almost all of them are gone. The liquor license went to $20k-$30k per year, plus the absurd taxes on the drinks themselves.

Midsomer Murders is a really, really good show...it is hard to figure out who the guilty party is because of the little side stories going on...

Probably because the expression "English cuisine" is oxymoronic. After you die, if you go to heaven, you'll get a French cook. If you go to hell, you'll get an English cook.
