File photo dated 01/12/06 of a man drinking a pint of beer. A poll of more than 40,000 Britons by YouGov found that the average price of a pint in Britain is 60p more than drinkers think is reasonable. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Issue date: Friday June 1, 2
SIR - Your report that one-in-four pubs have closed over the past ten years in the UK (T&A, Nov 26) doesn't surprise me.
For a pub to survive nowadays they need to sell good food as well as drink and be a comfortable meeting place.
There are many that fit this criteria but the days of the old spit and slaver pub are over.
