Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

But now:

You have to understand what the attraction of the English pub was in the first place.

You can get takeaway or even cook yourself a wider range of food of good quality

What are some disadvantages of living in rural areas? What are the advantages?

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

You can get a wider range of quality drinks at lower prices from a supermarket

In the mid to late 20th century they added food, without the inconvenience of cooking it or washing up.

Is using tech to track or monitor your partner’s activities a sign of love, insecurity, or control?

A range of alcoholic drinks

Back in the day (early 20th century and before) the English pub offered things you couldn’t get in a working-class home:

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

While emptying a house, have you ever seen something in it that blew your mind?

Comfortable seating in a warm, cozy environment, or a nice pub garden

They need to offer either food of a quality you can’t get at home (true gastro-pub experience) or alternative entertainments - live music, poker nights, sports viewing etc.

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

Why do people have trouble accepting the very true fact that "The Blue Marble" photo of Earth is a composite and therefore (just like every other subsequent "picture" of Earth NASA has ever shown us) not a real photo but computer generated?

The pubs with the best chance of survival long-term recognize that they can’t just get away with the same 3 beers, ropey wine and pub-grub. Why pay more for something worse than you can get at home for less?
