    Here in Germany, for at least the past 30 years, the question has unfortunately no longer been "The pub of the future", but "The future of the pub". Structural change and the smoking ban have killed many classic pubs where workers used to drink their after-work beer. I don't know how pubs hold up in the UK of today. Can they survive?

    • @phillipecook3227
      @phillipecook3227 Год назад +7

      Yes. 100s of independent pubs have closed in the UK since the smoking ban arrived - in 2006 in Scotland and a few years later in England. More recently many more didn't survive the COVID lockdowns and I feel sorry for them but those which survived the smoking ban which arrived 15 years ago actually prospered by investing and moving with the times. Chains like Wetherspoons are a good model of how to treat customers. They invest heavily in staff training and have prospered by giving customers what they want: a choice of beers and spirits and non alcoholic drinks at reasonable prices, hot food, sit-down facilities all in a clean ( smoke free) environment. I moved to my neighbourhood over 6 years ago and there's a local " traditional" pub 10 minutes walk from where I live. Just after I arrived I went in to meet a friend around 1pm. I asked if there was any food and was offered a packet of peanuts or crisps. I've never been back. It's 2022 not 1972. Adapt or die.

      @@beepboop9464 the BBC had some women presenters by this time, but mostly for opinion pieces about “women’s issues”, and about cooking, not something like Tomorrow’s World which was meant to be more “serious” and “factual” and whatnot. Late 70s and early 80s was about when it was beginning to change even in “serious” programmes. I’d definitely believe the USA being ahead, the BBC is quite reluctant to change.

Also a lot of programmes first recorded on tape were only archived on kinescope, due to reusing the tape for cost reasons!

      Every time I look in a clothing-catalogue, the sale-sheet for a store, or the posters in a shop-window, all the models have speech balloons so that they can tell me their opinions on every socio-political question. The mannequins lately have taken to wearing tape over their mouths, to protest the suppression of their right to speak wherever they are used to show how an article of clothing or an accessory might look on a human body. Thank goodness for progress!
      Also, at my local veterinary hospital, the owner is a woman, all the doctors are women, all the front-desk people are women, the office manager is a woman, and most of the technicians are women-and my preferred doctor, the owner, talks of "the girls at the front desk", and means nothing degrading by it, and nobody says "But I'm not a little girl! I'm a woman!" Intent matters. A word can have more than one denotation and more than one connotation.
      When you say "the poor woman", are you ignoring her opinion of herself and insisting that your view is the only one that's right? Maybe she felt as if she were in a poor position in this presentation-and maybe she didn't, and maybe she liked it.
