There is a big difference from being 'poor' to 'well off'. I'm not casting dispersions about anyone mererly pointing out that average salary is well below the national average. My mum still lives there with noisy Polish one side and druggies teh other. She has lived there over 50 years.
Its not just places like Spring Hill that now spend money at supermarkets on cheaper beer, that is endemic across the country. You could aslo ask if its related more to the readily available entertainment we have now. 20 yeras ago it was 4 channel TV, no computer games, no readily available internet. To entertain yourself you went to teh club/pub to chat to your friends, play snooker, darts, dominos etc.
