A pint of beer is served through rows of beer pumps at the Campaign For Real Ale Great British Beer Festival at Earls Court in London August 2, 2011. British pubs -- closing at record rates in a harsh economic climate -- could be saved by reviving traditional games like skittles and darts, according to a report on Tuesday. Such games have disappeared from many pubs in recent years in favour of gaming machines which charge customers to play, and from which landords can take a cut, the report said. To match Reuters Life!
