Back in the day (early 20th century and before) the English pub offered things you couldn’t get in a working-class home:

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

A particle from the farthest reaches of the universe has been detected at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. - Farmingdale Observer

In the mid to late 20th century they added food, without the inconvenience of cooking it or washing up.

You have to understand what the attraction of the English pub was in the first place.

You can get a wider range of quality drinks at lower prices from a supermarket

Does red light therapy do anything inside the body, other than just the skin that receives the light? Are there any obscure health benefits?

A range of alcoholic drinks

They need to offer either food of a quality you can’t get at home (true gastro-pub experience) or alternative entertainments - live music, poker nights, sports viewing etc.

You can get takeaway or even cook yourself a wider range of food of good quality

Why do narcissists devour so much sugar (candy, ice cream, donuts, etc., in huge amounts at a time)?

Comfortable seating in a warm, cozy environment, or a nice pub garden

But now:

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

Why cant a narcissist admit when they are wrong?
