Due to Growing Energy Costs, Pubs All Throughout the UK Have Begun Using Candles
You may have heard that the cost of energy is rising, which will make the coming months difficult for many of us.
Maybe candles attract customers?
Additionally, several bars in the UK are completely shutting out their lights in an effort to keep the lights on.
To reduce costs and draw in more customers, The Masons Arms in Camelford, Cornwall, now only uses candlelight on Mondays.
Kate Chawner-Woods, a landlord, has reached her breaking point due to soaring energy costs; her August statement went from an average of £700 in 2018 to more than £3,000 this year.
She stated, “When I opened the electricity bill, I wondered, ‘How are we going to manage?'”
“Since there has been a significant increase and our electricity bill is now just less than our rent, it was really frightening and we were extremely concerned about how this winter would turn out.
“One of the locals turned around as I was groaning and swearing after paying the bill and advised me to simply turn the lights out and return to the way things used to be.
“We turn off all the lights at 6 o’clock because people really appreciate it. Last Monday, we had 65 covers, which is far more than we typically have on a Monday in October.
“Everyone seems to like the environment; it’s romantic and people tend to chat to each other more, it’s really wonderful,”
There, perhaps we don’t require power after all? Perhaps we ought to start cooking over open flames and slumbering outside.
In all seriousness though, going to the pub during the winter could be more crucial than ever as we seek out social connection, camaraderie, and warmth, thus it’s imperative that they remain open.
Says Kate “We don’t need the heating as much because of the warmth provided by the candles.
“Last month, it was warm in here, so if demand persists, we’d like to do it on another weekday as well.
“We must do this because going to the pub plays a significant role in the lives of some of our neighbourhood residents.
“Not just businesses are struggling right now; everyone is having a hard time”
Because it might be less expensive than heating their own houses, we want people to be able to visit the pub and relax for a while.
South West London’s The Angel and Crown reported that it is currently dealing with its largest financial difficulty in its 400-year history.
The pub has made the decision to utilize candles in the evenings, dim the lights during the day, and avoid using the heating by keeping the fireplace lit.
Owner and manager Hannah Lawson stated: “Unfortunately, we’ve had to raise all of our pricing as a result of a 25% increase in our costs.
Customers have observed that we haven’t been allowed to turn on the lights, but in some ways, the candles have created a pleasant environment.
Hannah has had to raise pricing and decrease operating hours, and she worries that this upward trend won’t continue.
She uttered: “We’re going to have to keep raising our rates until they become prohibitive at some time.
“Some of our regular customers have already stopped coming because they are unable to continue making the payments.
I sincerely hope that pubs continue to exist because, for some individuals, they are the only place they can have a discussion that day. Going out to a pub is about so much more than just getting a drink.
Pubs are a good place to reconnect with friends whether old or new, it’s a great instrument for socialization amongst other things.
The longtime partner of Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe, Erin Darke, has announced they are expecting their first child together.
From Wizarding to Diapers
The news of Daniel Radcliffe’s impending fatherhood was revealed by the British actor’s agent on March 26. Radcliffe is best known as the hero of the popular Harry Potter film series.
The 33-year-old, whom we all grew up following his antics in the wild realm of witchcraft and magic, was essentially the face of our childhoods.
The duo has been known to encourage one another in their separate ventures while choosing to maintain a relatively quiet profile about their relationship.
Daniel and Erin later reconnected on the set of the dramedy Don’t Think Twice in 2016, following their collaboration on Kill Your Darlings.
Thus, learning that he is now raising a child on his own is unexpected.
They’ll make good parents
After meeting while filming Kill Your Darlings, a drama/romance movie about the Beat Generation, in 2013, Radcliffe and Darke, both 38, have been dating for almost ten years.
With Darke portraying Gwendolyn, Radcliffe played the moody poet Allen Ginsberg.
What a beautiful meet-cute.
In an interview with Marie Claire from 2015, Radcliffe talked about the moment they both caught one other’s gaze for the first time.
Radcliffe said, “That’s a great record of us flirting for the first time. Nothing is being done—at least not on my end.
He continued by expressing his appreciation for their sincere connection and said, “There’s a point when she makes me laugh, and I’m laughing as me and not as my role.
I knew I was in trouble because she was so hilarious and intelligent.
Ten years later, the adorable pair is about to embark on a brand-new journey.
Radcliffe made it plain that he has been considering fatherhood for some time when he told Newsweek in October of last year, “I want my kids – if and when they exist – I would love for them to be around film sets.”
But, it’s evident the singer wants something a little different for his future child than his famous and successful childhood did when he was just 12-years-old.
He said, “I wouldn’t want celebrity for my baby.” The famous side of film sets is actually what should be avoided at all costs, despite the fact that they are sometimes fantastic locations for youngsters.
According to the Mirror, an actor’s representative confirmed Radcliffe’s good news last night (March 25).
Daniel and Erin could not be happier to be expecting, according to a source close to the pair. They are ecstatic and eager to expand their family to three members.
It’s an immensely exciting time, as they recently informed their relatives and friends.
It is obvious that the news caused elation among all Potterheads and wasn’t just thrilling for the couple.
“Congratulations to them but I feel ancient today,” one Twitter user wrote.
Do we not all?
Another obviously overjoyed admirer added, “Harry Potter’s going to be a dad!!!”
“Daniel Radcliffe is going to be a dad. Why does this feel like the official event that ends my childhood?” a third person chimed in.
Harry, you’re a father!
