In response to an earlier point raised:

Thread: Children in Pubs Post: RE: Children in pubs
Doesn't seem particularly fair on the children. What about the bedtimes of older children who aren't simply going to fall asleep in a pram? Haven't we already established they get bored and fractious ... |

"But my gripe is with the attitude of some who think that there's some sort of need for the type of 'adult pubs' that I describe, and in particular I'm annoyed local authorities using licencing to ban... |

Thread: Why Why Why do people not move down in trains? Post: RE: Why Why Why do people not move down in trains?

Thread: Direct services from FH to London Victoria Post: RE: Direct services from FH to London Victoria

Thread: Children in Pubs Post: RE: Children in pubs
I see the subject is causing a bit of hoo-hah as usual.
But just to add that I'm a reasonable adult who is too long in the tooth to go clubbing - so people like me need somewhere to go too.

Thread: Children in Pubs Post: RE: Children in pubs
