Ironically, nothing could be further from the truth. The modern British pub is a hell-hole of fresh, nutritious grub, a bewildering choice of interesting drinks, hygienic toilets with running water, and disagreeably helpful staff. I could weep. Gone are the glorious days of cigarette smog, excessive flatulence, dodgy geezers flogging your neighbours belongings or small bags of revivifying herbal powders, and much better fights than you ever saw on the telly. The world is much the poorer for the passing.
