hey! it's great to see this thread resurrected, and great to see that the same old tosh is being spouted all over again!
Brian, those children you mention 'running riot' - where and when was that exactly? And was it a full-on petrol bomb and upturned vehicles riot, or just a lame marauding of hundreds of angry toddlers type riot?
So from time to time a kid will annoy people in a pub - get over it. If everyone who was annoying was banned from pubs, they would all be empty (apart from me, of course!).
