"...adding to the existing problems of price rises and waning consumer demand" Not remotely possible that people could be being put off by gouging prices, is it? My local pub/club used to do shots at £2.50 They are now £3.50[1] I walked in a couple of weeks ago, price of a pint was up from £5 to £5.50 - 10% instant jump, which is pretty bloody incredible. It does sadden me to watch good pubs being destroyed to build more houses. It's always houses innit. [1] you can get a full bottle of cheapo spirits for about £10 at the supermarket.
