Perhaps we should be saying "not BUGGY friendly" rather accusing them of being not baby friendly.

Saffron, you seem to always know quite a lot about the medical stuff, are you a medical professional, or just well read up on these things?

I think I'd bypass the GP and just take him to A&E to be honest. Good luck, hope he's okay x

Obviously I have absolutely no proof of this, but my gut feeling is that Chelsea are trying to deflect negative press from Terry, and paint themselves as the victims rather than the nasty club.

It's a shame there was no recording, because if he is innocent, he'll still have the accusation hanging over him and from now on people will always think of racism when they hear his name. Good / bad ref, doesn't matter, he doesn't deserve to be labelled a racist if he didn't say anything, but there will always be doubt now.

Agreed, but their behaviour is enough to be noticed.

Heatwave! As I said before, genius.

Muppets xmas Carol is like a special gift from heaven, absolute genius!

There is a bloody sign on most buses saying that wheelchairs take priority, but half the drivers either don't know their own company rules, or they don't want to risk a tongue lashing by asking a pram pusher to get off. Some people are so ignorant, I've gotten off a bus before when I was there first, because other buggy pushers just refuse. These people are absolute scum in my opinion, and I feel sorry for the kids in those buggies because they have selfish parents like that.

Yeah, taking their suspended thug of a captain, who played no part in the match, in to the room was probably so he could have a nice cup of tea and chat to the man.

Hurrah for Molly!

Thank you to you and your obviously wise partner!

I don't think they are a lazy construct, and I have seem them around the place. What gets me is words like discrimination, like it's your (no one imparticular) human right to sit and have a coffee with your mates. Perspective required. As has already been said, there are plenty of other places around so why not just go there and worry about something that is actually important.

I definitely think we need a second opinion as the GP didn't seem to take it that seriously from what my wife says. No idea if she has any of the things you describe, but certainly worth us looking in to, thanks.

I don't know what you have at your disposal. I didn't think it was particularly unusual for people to have a bigger buggy and a small stroller (which can be very cheap if you're not fussed about the name). "In which case, we purposefully choose the one that will annoy people the most? " Erm, where the Hell is this from?

Happy to hear we're not the only ones :)

FFS please stop using words like discriminate, no one has been discriminated against, and to claim otherwise is an insult to those that suffer real discrimination. I agree that he risks alienating his most profitable customer base, but that is his look out. Regarding the point about it being granted a license on the basis it would be a community space, one person's vision of a community space may differ greatly from another's. It's a term so broad that it's effectively useless.

For the record, her age isn't my issue interms of "Oh my God, she should have been potty trained at 2". I am concerned that if we don't get on with it, her peers will start to tease her, and I don't want that.

I'd be over the moon if she'd sit on it for 5 seconds right now!

"The worst thing about it was that it was my birthday and I was so upset at being so blatantly discriminated against. Still getting over it as it totally ruined my day. On the up side, we went to the Clock House straight afterwards and they couldn't have been more different. We had a lovely meal and they were super friendly, as were the other customers." So hang on, did it actually totally ruin your day, to the point you are still getting over it, or did you actually go on and have a lovely time, thus your day wasn't ruined? Lets be clear here, because using words like "discriminated" is pretty serious. and the owner said....no, no, no I don't want you to do that, but you need to think about these prams. Perhaps he meant you need to think about which pram you are taking to particular places. Some buggies are very big, and if you're going to a place with tight spaces they are going to be an issue, whereas a stroller wouldn't be such a big deal. Being rude to customers is not excusable (unless they deserve it), but he has a right to his opinion, and it sounds like his opinion is somehing along the lines of "why do people need these huge tank like prams". I have no personal opinion on this place, and it does sound like he has been a bit short with people, but equally, he could have been wound up. Like it or not, there ARE mothers (and fathers) out there with a massive sense of entitlement. "I have child, the world must cater to me because I am a mother". Bollocks! I am not saying ANYONE on this thread is one of these mothers, but a couple of run ins with this type of person would quite easily colour a business owner's perspective towards mums with buggies.

Our daughter will not entertain the potty. We bought it ages ago (at least a year), but it has yet to be christened. I think she has issues over toileting. My wife took her to the doctors, who suggested that she is constipated, and has a "backlog" of poo so it's just forcing it's way out sort of constantly. He said to give her more to drink. We give her whatever she wants to drink, and make sure that drink is always available to her, but if she doesn't want to drink, then what can we do? Anyway, as a result, we have a 3.5 year old still in nappies full time, with no end in sight. She won't even sit down on the potty or toilet (our toilet is a horrible high "throne" so no doubt intimidating for her). She is VERY strong willed, and much as she loves a bit of chocolate, I'm not sure the bribery thing will work. She basically does what she wants to do. Help.

I read it the same way Katie.
