That way, the consumer can choose which pub they want to go in. And as long as all the consumers that went in the pubs knew what type of pub it was, they couldn't argue.

Not a bad idea, Gayle. Could I suggest that those pubs which wish to be 'family friendly' should do so by in the first instance, removing the traditional pub sign from outside their premises? In their place, they should stick a big capital 'M' sign, or possibly a piccy of an old boy with a goatee beard and a factory-bred chicken, and then furnish the premises with formica topped tables and bar staff who invariably reply "Enjoy - have a nice day" when completing your order. Oh, and remove their alcohol licence at the same time.
