00:00So I know some young people, I've even got some of my own and whilst of course

00:05they are also like me, they like a drink now and again, but I can see

00:11across the board that it is not a big thing and I think it's the same for me

00:16who can afford it. Well it's not affordable, I think they spend more time

00:21at home playing the games. There's not so much peer pressure as well as when I

00:26was young. But also you know they're smarter than us, they've seen what the

00:31impact is on booze and they're choosing not to good on them. Well it's going to

00:36kill the industry I think yeah, what are they going to do with all these empty

00:40places you know and people do need to get out more and socialise, so they are

00:44good places to be actually. I think there's been a big culture change in

00:48terms of what young people do, I think a lot of people now of that age, of any age

00:54but particularly them, tend to meet remotely or in different sort of

00:58environments than pubs.
