Bars and nightclubs have been looking quiet recently, very quiet, at least in Reading. Venues that would normally be heaving, with queues at the door, now have empty dance floors.
Is the credit crunch pushing people to choosing to have nights in; drinking at home, cosy evenings in with a DVD? It looks that way. You can’t blame people for choosing the cheaper option when prices are noticeably going up. I ordered two glasses of red wine in a club (one that is not known for being the classiest in town) and the total came to £10.20. I might expect those sort of prices in central London, but not Reading.
As we know, prices are definitely on the increase, even estate agency fees have been raised. Everyone is in a scrabble to grab money where they can and the consumer has to be more wary than ever.
