I have never agreed with children frequenting pubs and growing up remember only being allowed (on very rare occassions) in ones that had 'Child friendly rooms'.
Of course, with most pubs now being of open plan design and more food orientated, this is not possible now in most cases.
I am even now used to spending my 'Chilled' saturday afternoons having kids running around and screaming uncontrollably. I understand that the times are a changing but...
Where does this inclusion stop?
For example, I was trying to have a peaceful drink with my girlfriend last sunday evening in the Dartmouth Arms, which was subsequently destroyed by a crying baby...... at 10.15 PM!
Is this morally fair to the rest of the patrons?
Don't even get me started on whether it was fair on the poor baby...
