actually it was Jameel Racing, (nominally the home Saudi team but basically Veloce as far as I can tell?) that won the thing so that's that until next year

At least one senior Labour official seems to finally remember they aren't in Reform.
The changes won't just harm economy and country, they'll destroy families and force more people into becoming undocumented, leading to more deportations. They need scrapping not pausing.

sadly there is no ale yet but that's an obstacle I've overcome before - it's a pub in Stratford, will be talking about it once things have calmed down

anecdotally I reckon Gen Z go out LATER than millennials but they go out for things (events, clubbing, whatever) rather than us lot considering 'we finished work or at least got the chance to sneak out' as a reason to be in a pub. unfortunately millennials still have no money, so

Hazel Southwell @hazelsouthwell.bsky.social · 2d

generally everyone goes home earlier than they used to; the majority of spend in pubs on Friday and Saturday used to be 8-12 but is now 4-8, which is a big shift for staffing and entertainment that the industry hasn't really responded to. ofc depends a bit on location but generally that's true

James Ball @jamesrball.com · 2d

There are reasons to think the claims that Gen Z “doesn’t drink” or even drink less than millennials did at their age aren’t true – it seems to be partly a Covid effect and partly some dodgy stats.

But I could easily believe they drink earlier and go home earlier. Pubs look *quiet* after 9pm now…

Pub industry folk: What do you make of this?

I'm sure it's not unwelcome but will it make much difference?

My impression is that you're struggling to fill space until 10pm, let alone 1am.
