People who have a pub in their area are happier and better-connected to their local community, a study has found.
The Campaign for Real Ale surveyed over 2,000 adults and found that more than half of regular ale drinkers who go to pubs have made at least one new friend on their visits.Those who lived near a pub were also found to be more trusting as people, the survey found. CAMRA is urging the government to make"substantial" reforms to help keep pubs open after the research suggested they play a big role in local communities.The consumer organisation is also calling for the introduction of a preferential rate of duty for beer sold in pubs and on-trade outlets, greater support for publicans tied to large pub-owning companies and a significant reduction in the business rates currently paid by pubs.
CAMRA's chairman Nik Antona, speaking at the group's Great British Beer Festival in London, said:"Pubs play a significant role in communities across the country, providing a space for local people to meet, helping to tackle loneliness, and having a positive impact on the personal wellbeing of pub-goers.

But the majority of us only know a handful of gays if any at all and those gays typically don't ever seen bothered enough to stand up for this crap. Oh, stop. Just stop. Whatever the problem is, it’s not with language. You need to go much deeper than that. That’s just lazy thinking. “We need a cause, so let’s blame WORDS! GET THEM WORDS!”
