Hogarth turning in his grave
red tape, higher taxes and ban on outdoor smoking

"Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, boozers were grappling with a triple whammy of increased bureaucracy, business rates and booze duty.
And she added that Labour’s plans to ban smoking in pub gardens - first revealed by The Sun - had left her “stumped”.  "

JEREMY Clarkson has revealed he's already losing an eye-watering amount of money at his newly-opened pub.

Before opening the doors to his £1m Cotswold taproom, The Farmer’s Dog, the TV star announced that it would only use British ingredients

Jeremy, 64, vowed to follow through on his promise, even if it meant banning ketchup which is produced in factories in Poland and Spain.

He also banned Coca-Cola from the pub and instead added his partner Lisa Hogan’s own brand of Cotswolds apple juice to his menu as a non-alcoholic alternative to his famous Hawkstone cider.

However, The Grand Tour star has now revealed that he “failed” to completely follow through on this promise.

He wrote in The Times: "I do ask, if you drop by, to remember this. Your lunch, if it arrives at all, is costing us a lot more than it's costing you - so please be kind.

The decline of the good old British Pubs started ever since the indoor smoking ban from 2006 onwards as well as the rising alcohol prices.

Just like the English countryside the English pub is deemed by some to be racist so both have to go .
Close the pubs and tarmac over the countryside . That should solve the nation's problems Plain

British pubs were dying decades ago but smoking ban probably saw them off, and then plenty more became those ghastly gastro-pubs.

In the future, the ideal time to eat a burger won’t be when you’re hungry
It’ll be the oddest, most awkward hours — late mornings or afternoons, the middle of the night on a Tuesday — the slices of time when prices will be lowest.
not unlike your Uber ride, fast food prices will go up or down depending on demand.

At least, this is the world people imagined when fast food chain Wendy’s revealed it would be tinkering with “dynamic pricing,”
a broad term that describes any strategy where prices fluctuate based on supply and demand —

The uproar was swift- Taylor - shake it off

No point in moaning now.The majority of English voters went for a GDP decrease of 2-3% currently rising to 5-6% by 2035, you did this to yourselves in 2016 and have about 42 years to go.
