Badly behaved children ruining British pubs

Muddy boots and dogs welcome. If well behaved, children too.

I hate dogs in pubs. Generally the landlord has one and the pub stinks. You then get the obligatory 'Don't mind savage and killer they are harmless, the biting the kids leg of last week was an accident - he was just messing' If a pub had dog on the menu I'd be more likely to try it. Especially a small yappy one.

When I was a kid I would be made to wait outside the boozer for my dad. He would send out a coke and a packet of crisps every now and again. At closing he would stagger out and as a treat let me sit in the front seat as he drove home.
Thats responsible parenting you just dont get anymore.

:drink: :D

C'mon give the the darlings some respite...they've probably been screaming in the Supermarket all week and it's a change for to run around in the pub and annoy the punters. Bloody kids I hate them..'.Seen and not heard' was the motto in the 40s...true to this very day...even saw a little darling punching his mother because she wouldn't buy him ANOTHER ice cream.
Having said that,my housekeeper sometimes brings her son with her when he's on holiday and a better behaved lad you couldn't meet...everything is thank you or no thank you,sit's still and is so quiet you forget he is there.

The latest survey from*The Good Pub Guide reveals*the number one complaint in the past year was unruly youngsters running riot in drinking establishments.

That's Croydon for you!

I was playing darts in my local and stupidly left my darts on a table while I went to get a pint. I came back to find some kid hurling my darts into the wall. I was actually quite restrained and suggested he go back to his parents. A few minutes later his dad came up to me and asked if I'd thrown his lad off the dart board. "Yes i f***ing did", I replied and an argument about bad parenting ensued. Fortunately I haven't seen them since. Turned out well I guess.

The bar I use most here for pleasure rather than work is a Reggae/African bar... so quite a few West Africans in the place, including most of the staff. As black people are still a bit of a novelty here, and outside Prague, pretty non existant. Children brought into the bar tend to cling to their parents with a look of stark terror on their faces. Works for me
