Licensing laws
They're changing, we've now got more drinking up time here in the UK at last. Things used to be bad, but are they getting worse because of the new licensing laws?

Its seems incredible to me that in the year 2001 we british still cling to some crazy law that was introduced during the war to prevent munition factory workers from getting pissed up at night.

| 21-6-2008 | Mmmmmm a more continental environment for the tourists?!?!?! Before the licensing laws were relaxed the pubs would be closed by midnight, the clubs a little bit later. By 4 am the streets would be relatively clear of the drunken yobs wanting to fight the world. Now thanks to these relaxed laws there...more | Facts |
| 07-6-2008 | Being surrounded by three "spit and sawdust" relics of pubs dating back to the late 1800's, which have degenerated into gathering places for those whose aim in life is never to be sober instead of places where a few hours pleasant relaxation was to be had, and who nightly is serenaded ...more | Sleepless |
| 23-10-2007 | Us locals are campaigning for the closure of the public houses in our area. We do not want them for a number of reasons. There's no real place for public houses in our society anymore and, the scurge of the earth dwell amongst them.

| 02-10-2007 | Well said Adam. By and large you are right. There are so many better places to go. Let's leave them to it. They, after all, need the pubs and/or the regulars they call friends, to have any sort of social existence. We don't. Anyone who pays to have friends (and let's face it, that&...more | Frankie |
| 24-8-2007 | Lou - I refer to my earlier comments! Pay a damn fortune for the beer (at least, in the S.East we do), and they want you out the door just as soon as poss...

| 24-8-2007 | Curly - not sure when pubs were open all day sunday...are you sure that's not just wishful thinking? worked in pubs a lot during the 80s, but I just can't think when they were open all day on a sunday... | Crapefart |
| 24-8-2007 | Town-dweller - pubs not selling food after 2pm has to be one of my major causes of irritation. But again, we come back to our culture. Love 'em ot loathe 'em, the Yanks have a far better grasp of that little factor called 'service'. We, as Brits, do not seem to grasp the concept very...more | Crapefart |
| 24-8-2007 | Adam - what the do you actually know about pubs? Whilst some of the more grimier shthouses could well be called dosshouses, to label them all in this way just shows extreme ignorance on your part. To label them in this way shows a complete lack of understanding - particularly of English culture &...more | Crapefart |
| 24-8-2007 | Interesting....
Just spent an evening in my local pub (The Bedford, Horsham, West Sussex), now extremely pished off coz the bar ladies were intent on kicking us out before 11.20 becuse they were dead keen on getting to their other assignations. To add insult to injury, we know the clock in the pub...more | Crapefart |
| 17-8-2007 | By and large Pubs are just dosshouses. If you were a grown up you wouldn't go near them. As far as I'm concerned the quicker they go down the tubes the better life will be for everyone. Pubs are awful places because of the people in them, drunken, stupid morons the lot, wasters, complete was...more | Adam |
| 06-5-2007 | What gets my goat is when you've taken the trouble to drive out into the country to have a nice Sunday pub lunch, but have been stuck in a minor traffic jam, and only get to the pub of your choice by 2:15pm, and then to find that they have closed the kitchen at 2pm.
They can't be bothered...more | Town-dweller |
