Is it just me or does all life seem to stop after 8pm. Can only vouch for Dundee here, but you rarely see anyone on the streets unless they are p*ssed up d*unk. Finishing work wtc. Are we just a nation of couch potatoes after sunset?

I regularly run in the evening and see quite a few others out then.

Given that its cold and dark though, i am not really sure why you would expect to see people out on the streets?

Yeah I'm from Dundee and unfortunately it is really quiet at nights. Weekends are usually busy in town though.

I think the op means nightlife pubs clubs and so on. Changed times you need a mortgage to do a w/ender like the 80s never mind the midweek nights out

I certainly feel a lot more energised to be out and about once the clocks change and it gets into spring again. Might be that its still cold and dark.

Agree with this, The lighter nights are just round the corner

Its the same all over the country unfortunately ...theres several reasons i believe

1 being lack of cash..its far more expensive now than it used to be so people will tend to wait til weekend

2 the smoking ban had a huge effect on people going out to pubs

3 the new drink drive levels (where some people would go out on a work night they wont take the chance driving the next day so opt to stay in nowadays)

Love the light nights for everyday life but as a TV i actually like the dark, means nobody can really see my face!!

I occasionally go out for drinks (don't really go out in Dundee as my friends are in Aberdeen) but I think my clubbing days are behind me, I prefer to go home after and put my feet up with a cuppa.

Might be different if I was drinking though, rarely drink these days and taxis are extortionate

I agree with your points but I think the biggest change I think is the Internet. When I was loon we only had 4 channels on TV, there was nothing else to do but head out! No online porn, fab,Facebook ect. You don't have to go out now to socialise so to speak. I used to think it was a disaster being stuck at home any night of the week when I was young!

It also makes me laugh thinking back to when you ever pulled and would agree to meet up again. Always dreaded the phone call praying the dad wouldn't answer the phone! The joys of no mobiles and a landlines phone!

Also on a side note, taxis cost a fecking fortune which doesn't help. I live a few miles from town and used to cost a few quid, now it cost £9!

Plus most of the bars, club's have gone, replaced by coffee shops.

Im not gonna get into a debate about taxi fares but taxis/private hire cars are exceptionally expensive to run on a number of levels ..add that to where i work where the taxis havent had an increase in fares for over 5 yrs i would say fares are reasonable ..but thats just me
