British media: The survey shows that the number of England and Wales Bar is hit for a record low

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] The latest survey shows that the number of bar bars in England and Wales has fallen to the lowest level in history. British Reuters reported on the 4th that the inflation rate in the UK is at a high level in nearly 40 years, and the Russian conflict has led to high energy prices. In the first half of this year, England and Wales were closed about 200 bars. Many bars have survived the new crown pneumonia's epidemic, but now they have to face crisis such as rising energy costs, inflation, tax increases, and "Brexit" labor shortage.

British bar culture has a long history. In the UK, bars are often the center of a community and are known as the "heart of the community." However, due to factors such as drinking alcohol and changes in social habits, the number of British bars has been declining for a long time, and the existing bar has been competing with the relatively low price in the supermarket. In the past ten years, about 7,100 bars in the UK have been demolished or changed to him. According to industry insiders, if the government cannot provide relevant support, more bars will disappear from Britain in the future. (Chen Yahan)
