How private equity reshaped the local and the postcode tool that shows the pubs most at risk.

    I don’t have a local because it simply costs too much to go to a pub regularly. There’s plenty of third places if you’ve got loads of disposable income.

      If I want to go to the pub with my partner and have one drink its nearly £16.

      What used to be a weekly visit has now become monthly at the most and usually not at all any more, we simply cannot afford it.

        I saw a thing a few weeks back about people not buying rounds anymore. I can’t imagine why…

    A 3rd space without alcohol and monetary association would be better.

    Clearly this is because of the Muslim invasion of the UK.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
