You can get a lot from websites but so much more from real settings. Perhaps that is why our pubs are losing business! Me, I'm more inclined to start encouraging real time discussions in pubs, perhaps a debating society where we can sit and just chat about real life issues, and heaven forbid, politics.

I hate beer and I think the majority of smokers now stand outside their place of work or sitting on walls swigging cans of beer
I went to a production at the Brockley Jack theatre recently and the pub part was empty apart form a few of us drinking coffee
For an establishment that has just spent a lot of money on renovation that is disastrous. There was one table occupied in the restaurant all evening!! Now that really can't on for long
they have their football match TV so hopefully that will sustain them
