By getting to wear the fact that there aren't
enough like you to pay the cost of staying open.

There are villages around here that can sustain 3 proper pubs.

But that place clearly can't sustain even one.

It's a bloody great big town - I don't believe that for a second.

That may well be the main problem, its too big to be
viable to walk to the one or two viable pubs so you
don't get shafted for driving back over the limit so
people prefer to pay much less for what they drink and
don't have the problem of driving when over the limit.

Or the one currently covered in scaffolding will be
viable if they do it right when the work is completed.
