where are they ?


I had a couple of those annoying things crawling under my table in the plough, it's the second time it happened in just a few days.

enough! they just stare and wait for me to smile at them.

I don't, I'm not one of them, I've never been.

I don't smile at children. There is no logical reason to do so.


why can't I find a pub without children ?

if dogs have to stay out, why won't children too?

Have to agree with Azul, went for a quiet drink in the Plough recently, only to walk into a creche! As a mother myself , its not the presence of children I object to; rather the fact they are allowed to run unsupervised , making as much noise as they like! It is inconsiderate towards others and rather bad mannered, I always took stuff to amuse and distract mine so they did not disturb others. All common courtesy really!

We like you, Azul.

And totally agree with 2degrees (great nick!) it's not all children, just those whose parents let them think that everywhere they go they can scream and shout and that someone else will take care of them!

To be fair the Clockhouse is mostly childfree most days.

If you popped into the Plough on a Friday afternoon, that's when they run their increasingly popular mum and baby group. Dont think it's that bad at other times.

Er, going to the pub and not wanting kids around doesn't automatically make you a special brew drinking alcoholic :-S

Lol, am fully aware that there is a Dad's and Toddlers sess friday afternoons and therefore choose to go elsewhere if I'm lucky enough to get the chance to drink on a Friday afternoon! Was a weekend when I visited!

Had stopped using the clockhouse cos it became too creche -like at the weekends, perhaps it's time to become a regular again, ta muchly for the info!

Where in that post did I call Azul an alcaholic?

took me years of nasty hangovers, watch my growing belly, and gain my status.

I'm one, and proud of it.

and I hope this year, I can became a smoker again.



never been a child, though.

I've always been this size and been this old.


I think I'm now declaring the CPT as my local,

but someone mentioned clockhouse.

what and where is that ?

I have never seen any kids in there but I did once see a heavily pregnant woman drinking in there. She even sang Phil Collins' Easy Lover on Karaoke- true story.


She's not been back in since the smoking ban though.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
