Hmm ... drinking establishments really don't know what to do these days do they.
Stopped the smokers and exchanged them for family friendly places full of whippersnappers ... is it a scam to sell more food? One drink ration and only a second one with a sit down meal.
I never knew this ... It is a crime for anybody in charge of a child under the age of seven to be drunk in a public place under the 1902 Licensing Act. A person convicted of this offence can be subject to a fine or up to one month in prison.
Is it a scam to sell more food? Maybe, but the staff cannot be expected to supervise customer's children. It is alarming seeing children playing around while staff are waiting at tables.
Oh, I must have misunderstood. I thought it meant to encourage responsible drinking in the parents.
Children have always and will continue to always be a pain up the rump when they're allowed into what used to be/should be exclusively adult leisure premises.
