Do not fear British pub chains, online shopping is a greater threat

I note the recent fuss regarding the arrival of a certain number of discount beer and expensive coffee chains to our city. I am reliably informed they are most pleased at the free publicity,

While I share most thinking people’s abhorrence of homogenous chains proliferating.

I must say I would counsel that the arrival of the chains mentioned will not make one jot of difference. These changes are not to be feared for already cheap drink and grub abounds in Cork City. It’s a great place to socialise in (except for the closing times).
