It should be legally compulsary for all citizens to support a team during the world cup and I'm gessing those asking for footy free pubs are looking to escape footy mad husbands that have turned the family home into a stadium for four weeks hee hee.
When I watched the 1982 World Cup...it wasn't shown in any pubs other than in a few old mans pubs on sets that switched over to the races and at my hall of residence although there was a reasonable interest in the England games (maybe 20-30 mainly blokes) for other games there would be about five of us. How times have changed.
I really am not that bothered about football, much to the horror of virtually everyone I meet. I'm not sure when / how it became such an apparently, compulsory interest (like ???? says above, it wasn't always like this). I like a good kick around with mates, and I will admit to watching the occasional international - but I have friends who literally organise their entire lives around sitting infront of the TV, watching someone else playing football. The level of obsessiveness seems completely wierd to me.

    • I had the same thing happen about a year ago... a couple of times in fact. I obviously react a lot less to posts than I used to because it has'nt happened again!
    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
