Londonrz - you're missing the point that people are trying to make. The presence of kids is not the issue, it's the presence of kids treating pubs like and restaurants like a playground and their parents allowing them to do so.
I think we all accept and understand that kids may get bored at the table and want to wander around but that doesn't mean the parents get to ignore them when they do so.
OK, fair enough and good point. My "little angel" is usually well behave but at 3 can sometimes become a little unhinged and run around like a mad thing until corraled and placeted with juice or crisps, it is at this stage where, although she has been quite for an hour, we get "that look" from some other patrons.
I must admit to wanting to put some parents on the naughty step when it comes to letting their kids run riot.
I must admit to also wanting to sit with a bottle of wine and let the beasts free to roam to give me 15 min of "me" time, upsetting to others in the pub but Oh God what a great 15 min for me
