00:00Yeah, they're important. I think it needs to evolve.

00:04It needs to probably get more young people and sort of like...

00:07Yeah, pubs are important. They keep the community together.

00:10There are centres of a community who just gather people and just call in.

00:14I know it's a bit of a cliché when you see a lot of soap operas,

00:18but I think there is a genuine need for them.

00:23My town has got a number of pubs.

00:27I mean, two of them have closed, which I used to do darts in one of them,

00:32and it's hard then to try and find another pub to enjoy, really.

00:36You've then got to get used to the customers who are already there.

00:40So, yeah, it's a difficult thing with all them disappearing.

00:45And that must affect other groups because, I mean, certainly in the old days,

00:49there were darts leads and snooker leads and things

00:52that were all centred around the local pubs.

00:54And so I think quite a lot of people find that they can't do that anymore.

00:59And so I'm not doing that anymore.

01:01And so I don't do that anymore.

01:03And so I don't do that anymore.
