I wont allow you to call me insensitive and I feel you are talking out your backside!!
for your information she left 30 seconds ahead of me and got her pram carried down the stairs by someone else as I was left upstairs to collect jackets and various bags etc...she agreed to go on ahead of me but by the time I got downstairs she was still trying to get by the idiots at the bar who thought it was/would be funny to not move/laugh pretend they didnt see her..
these people did not react positively to the courtesy that was shown initially...so you can drop the responsibilty and desired destination nonsense..
at the end of the day the pub should have a side door. it doesnt. poor show.

Less...again you are so charitable......what pills are you taking? are they expensive?
and can I get some too?

[MargaretR]

It makes a nice change to hear of a pub that can still get crowded nowadays.

Oh look, yet another show of insensitivity, what I have said doesn't agree with you so you now have a verbal outburst, grow up man.
We all have to put up with minor inconveniences and that is all this was.

come on you lot, play fair, it was a family do afterall

Don't think pubs are designed with children in mind.They don't seam to mix very well-never took mine into one.Though she's made up for it since.

heres another verbal outburst - you are an arsehole..

I did think that the oaklea tavern supporters club would come out in force and I was correct..
amd the biggest inconveniece was the fact there is no longer a side door

this was a family get together where quite alot of family had not seen our little yet so this was the perfect time for them to meet..and if pubs are going to offer function rooms it should be easy to access and not through a pub on a saturday night..

Some may say that makes us a matching pair!

But may I suggest you wipe your's some of it's contents appear to be dripping onto the screen!

Now calm down and think about it, the only thing that came close to slightly causing a blot on your evening was getting in and out of the place, does that really mean that because I don't find it as tragic as you seem to that you have to resort to this sort of name calling?

[Benipete]

Badly organized I agree.A little more thought needed when booking rooms.

Don't let that stop you saying what you think.
I would have thought constructive criticism would be welcome.

[shillelagh]

How often do you go to parties and you have to go through a pub, club, reception etc to get to the function room? I would say 99% of the time. If people wont move well push the pram into them - if they complain then say well i did ask you to move - most people do.

well if the person who booked the room in the first place took this into consideration there wouldnt have been a problem,cant blame the pub. and as for a perfect time to meet the new little un, i dont think a pub functin room on a saturday night is perfect, obviously some do though !!!

smell the coffee

[harwood red]

there is a rear emergency door next to the stairs for the function room, if the management had been asked I am sure they would have been happy to let you out that way...if its allowed that is (with it being the emergency exit)
