Often lamented on here but the ONS have published some interesting data if you like this sort of thing.
Economies of ale: small pubs close as chains focus on big bars - Office for National Statistics
A look at Sunderland (you can check your own area) shows we have a slightly lower number of pubs than average per population. And there are 50 fewer pubs than in 2001 and few people working in the industry.
So might use that to those toss pots claiming we have too many pubs when someone tries to open a new business.
