Could skittles revive the immense British Pub?

British pubs -- closing at record rates in insensitive economic conditions -- could be collected by reviving traditional games like skittles and darts, according to a report on Tuesday.

Such games have vanished away from many pubs in the current years in favor of gaming machines which charge customers to play, and from which landowners can take a cut, the report said.

But bringing them back could overturn the fixed decrease over the past five years in the number of youngsters permanently visiting their local pubs, it added.

The report, by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), said the several of people aged 18 to 24 who are standard pub-goers, going there no less than once a week, has plunged by in so far as 11% since 2006.

But in a CAMRA survey, 49% of them who had heard of a customary pub game advised they would very probably or quite likely visit pubs more frequent if free traditional games were made existing.

"Pubs have had it tough in current years with high added in beer tax, below-cost pricing in supermarkets, the introduction of the smoking ban, and of course Britain's economic difficulties all playing a part in a troubling 25 pubs closing every week," said CAMRA National Chairman Colin Valentine.

"The research pointed out that one fun way of magnetizing 18-24 year olds back into pubs could be to bid free traditional pub games," he added.

"These games are part of our legacy and can be enjoyed by large numbers of people at no cost. This means more funds can be spent at the bar which helps pubs and breweries."
