The do-gooders in politics spoilt the British pub by banning smoking in them. So many went out of business as a result of that stupid law; and the ones that didn't were turned into glorified kindergartens. Personally, I think it has led to a lot of loneliness in the UK, too. BTW, I write this as an ex-smoker; so I have no skin in the game.
@@xelakram Of course you do, it isn't self-evident, it has to be verified, proven. Why would pubs go out of business from banning smoke? Makes no sense. Pub culture runs deeper than smoking cigarettes.
@@BillHicks420 Of course it is self-evident! What planet do you live on? Alcoholic drinks go together with the smoking of cigarettes just like matches go together with them. Who needs a match when one hasn't a cigarette? And, as a smoker, who wants a drink without a cigarette? Drinking alcohol and smoking go together, for smokers, like pyjamas and sleeping. Furthermore, you don't have to take my word for it. At the time of the ban, there was a lot of reporting in this very fact: the fact that many pubs went out of business because of the ban.
What a wonderful places...
Remembering going to st. Albans back in 2009 . Beautiful place.
So proud to be a St Albans resident 😀
Bet who ever made this loves a lumpy lumpy chicken wrap
Shouldn't they try and get it heritage listed. No tax and guaranteed to stay open. I'm sad to see all this history go.
I also thought the Trip To Jeruselem was the oldest continually open boozer in the uk but i think there's an older one in Ireland,
Nice place 007 was there

The 'TRIP TO JERUSELEM 'built into Nottingham castle is the oldest PUB in Britain
"I'm either a real priest or a really disappointing stripper gram" LOL now that's funny.
Why wouldn't the UK Save or preserve it?? They don't have enough tax dollars to just turn it into a museum or government funded historic site?
Stop Press! 🗞️📰

I don't think that is a substantiated claim.
@@BillHicks420 Not a "substantiated claim"? It is a fact, Sir. For that reason, I don't have to substantiate it.

All my mates and I stopped going to the pub when they introduced the ban. We would rather hang out in my garage.
