Also, this article raises some questions about Caroline Nodder's, editor of trade magazine The Publican, grasp of the situation.
CAMRA's survey found:
Eight of 10 closed pubs were demolished or converted into houses
Only 12% of those who visit pubs prefer a town centre themed pub
84% of those who visit pubs prefer a country pub or community local
And yet Nodder claims:
"It is down to many reasons, an increase in red tape, more legislation and overheads are higher than they used to be," she said.
"Also the local village pub is not getting regular trade like it used to as in a lot of cases there is not the same village community or people are choosing to go into town more.
If I were a publican I'd be wary of advice in the Publican.
