I wonder what can realistically be done, about the standard of behaviour of kids in pubs. The mentality from parents in some cases appears to be to treat the whole pub as a play area, where little or no supervision is needed. I guess its up to the bar staff to intervene - but its a fine balance.
Nothing can be done. They are more important than you, because THEY'VE GOT KIDS.
Apparently.
For all child-haters present there are plenty of pubs where you'll very rarely see a child inside the main bar. You are making the mistake of going to pubs that are happy to attract families. With the presence of children comes disorder: live with it. But if you can't then go somewhere else.
