      The article below is claiming (correctly) that loads of “community pubs” are closing.

      Several of them hosted nights by our local crew which were popular and brought in a lot of cash for the pub

      OK these events were noisy, and it was a young and boisterous crowd but they were by and large good natured, no worse than any other young adults in this town.

      Every time one happened, the local nimbys would call 999, and the cops would then end up having to visit and give “words of advice” and frighten off the landlords from allowing these events for fear of their license being pulled.

      I admit these days I drink at home but thats because there’s nothing in town with music I like any more – if people here won’t tolerate others enjoying themselves (and others when they do go out can’t avoid being complete bell ends and fighting amongst themselves) they deserve to get a town with no pubs/nightlife…

        Look on the bright side – less pints pulled, less money for central Government.

        They’ll only blow excess revenue on nuclear weapons and starting wars.

          the smoking ban is to blame…first time the world saw a government in modern times went for ban on smoking was in 1935 and it came from berlin….go figure.

            from a wider european viewpoint I agree (even though I quit smoking a few years back) but what has happened here is worse, its after the smoking ban and is directly from neighbours complaining, and not just at dance music.

            there isn’t even “24 hour drinking”, most pubs are lucky to get a extension to 01:00 here

            but if they get one and they play music the neighbours are making 999 calls the moment they hear it after midnight and thats also for the 18 year old hipster kid bands with geetars (who live angelic lifestyles compared to what I was like at that age), not just us pillheads.

            also North Essex is like that (not sure if you are shown TOWIE in DK or you’d even want to watch it but that concentrates on South and Mid Essex) – the bit nearer London..
