Here’s a very eloquent elegy (http://www.economist.com/node/17722946) on the decline of the British pub, written by the obituaries editor of The Economist. Funny how the elephant in the room is never mentioned, though.

The current attitude towards pubs, with all the great and good flocking to “save” them, seems in many ways to be similar to that towards rural railways in the Beeching era - people become increasingly sentimental about them, but in practice use them less and less.
