I Say Ban Kids From Pubs! Please!

And please don't be 'orrible with your replies to me on this subject.
I am of a rather tender disposition who gets upset very easily.

But what do YOU think about this situation?

Thanking you in anticipation.




I don't go to the pub as much as I once did simply because there are usually too many unruly Sproggs running around making a general nuisance of themselves.
Now then, if the little darlings would just sit still and shut up, then that would be just fine!

Part of which is...

Meanwhile inside, children have the run of the place, darting around and squealing, tripping up grown-ups who dare venture in for a refill (what about our health and safety?), while baby-buggies block access to the bar and the Gents. Such is the grim consequence of John Major’s decision, 20 years ago, to lift the ban on admitting under-14s to the inner sanctum.

No wonder the latest edition of the Good Pub Guide, out this week, finds that its reviewers’ most common complaint is against noisy and ill-behaved children. Nor should anyone be surprised that a ban on babies and toddlers at Barton Marina’s Waterfront pub, near Burton upon Trent in Staffordshire, has attracted new customers, while delighting most of the regulars.

In general, children aren't a problem in the pubs I go in.

Re: I Say Ban Kids From Pubs! Please!

Fair play to you Carol.
But have you tried going into a Wetherspoons pub lately?
My above sentiments certainly apply there.
And some of the pubs I have been in lately, and all..

Re: I Say Ban Kids From Pubs! Please!

Wetherspoons are not really pubs though are they? Kids can be a nuisance in my Local but so can a lot of their parents!

Re: I Say Ban Kids From Pubs! Please!

Well I would certainly call Wetherspoons a Public House which serves Beer and feeding time at the zoo for the sprogs.

And yes, so can a lot of their parents be obnoxious too.
And all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo!

I agree keep the ankle biters out, its nice to be able to go into a pub and relax without hearing screaming kids . I went out for a meal one evening last week and there was a young couple with two toddlers one of them screamed non stop i ended up with a throbbing headache and not caused by the drink i had.

Re: I Say Ban Kids From Pubs! Please!

I don't drink so don't go into pubs.

But I have a daughter, and she and her husband have gone into pubs with my grandson since he was born. They only ever go in for a meal though, and my little grandson has got so used to them, he is now 8 and sits there like a grown up. If they hadn't of taken him when he was small they would never have got an evening out.

Re: I Say Ban Kids From Pubs! Please!

Wetherspoons is a FAMILY pub so if you want the cheap drink (which presumably you go there for) you have to accept the fact that there are families there having a meal with their children.

I go in Wetherspoons every week. When it was my husbands birthday I bought him 100 shared in the place. I can honestly say that ill behaved children have never been a problem. We go there with our own grandchildren...
