Sorry Rob, I stand by my last post.
And forget the huggs, I might go soft (heaven forbid)
I DO NOT WANT CHILDREN IN A PUB.
I had a great childhood, but the law then was children were not aloud in pubs, and didn't they invade adult space and that's what I want now I'm older.
May I suggest that all parents take your children outside into the garden/trendy deck area
and the turn the gas powered heaters on full blast for a happy family experience which doesn't infringe on those of us that want some peace and quite while we have a few pints inside the pub.
And before anyone asks...NO, I haven't got kids and never wanted them.
Which means when I get older, I'll be a very sad lonley old man drinking
real ale (not lager) but hopefully NOT smelling of urine !!
I might even become grumpy as well.
