Should kids be allowed in pubs
After a recent incident in the Railway which i am not going to put on here
(if any other member that was there would like to put the details on that's fine )
i was just wondering what your thoughts are about children being in pubs ??
Personally i don't think they should or if they are they should be kept under control not allowed to run around as they please

Re: Should kids be allowed in pubs
I think they should be allowed in as long as they are supervised. The problems start when parents let them run wild.

Re: Should kids be allowed in pubs
no i don't think they should be allowed in pubs, i was in one pub on my birthday and a three year old was asleep on one of the chairs, i thought this was pathetic, if a child needs sleep then it should be in bed, not asleep in a pub whilst its grandparents are getting pi$$ed, it made me rather angry
if the pub is also a restaurant then yes but otherwise no, keep them out

Re: Should certain women be allowed in pubs
I don't have a problem with it in general terms. Yes they should be supervised so they are not getting in others way.
There is a sign in there saying all kids must leave by 4pm.
I know that so if I don't want to see kids I would go after 4.
I used to think it was bad seeing single parents in pubs with kids in prams. Since the no smoking I don't see it as too much of a problem.
There are a lot of family pubs that encourage kids in. There are pubs that don't allow it as well. I suppose you choose your pub based on that if you don't want to see kids in there.
As someone with young kids it is nice that we can go out as a family, have something to eat and the kids can play at the same time. It can be hard going out when you have children. Not everyone can get babysitters all the time.

I do agree with you on that Shaz. The children have to come first as they always should.
I don't drink a lot if the kids are with me either. I am usually driving but prefer to know I can still think straight when I have my children to look after.

Re: Should kids be allowed in pubs
there's a difference between normal pubs and family pubs, men/women don't tend to go in family pubs with their mates for a social drink, when i go out during the day with my mates i like to be able to chill, have a game of pool and a good natter, i don't want screaming kids around peeing me off

Exactly Shaz, thats why you have to pick one that does not allow children in.
I love kids, but I also like to escape from them for a while as well.

I'll drink to that. Keep 'em well away.
I have a point of principle that if I walk into a pub and see one of these little rats in there, I turn around and walk straight out. That is irrespective of what type of pub it is - serving food or not. Pubs and kids do not mix, it's that simple. If I was in charge of local licensing I would withdraw the license from any pub found with kids on the premises. The fact is a pub is a place where adults escape from children. Lets keep it at that.
