children free zone

[Azul]

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?

[citizenED]

Try the Castle, Azul

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Suspect the Silver Buckle would be child-free - perhaps Alan a Dale could confirm?

[????]

Drink in Camberwell

[2degreesfrommadness]

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!

[blinder999]

Crystal Palace Tavern is still child-free

[Nero]

Agreed. But talking about kids in pubs and caffs is so 2007! Nero

[KalamityKel]

Start 'em young eh? ;-)

[PeckhamRose]

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.

[mightyroar]

nero is right this whole thread is so last year.

But if logic is your raison d'etre then why go to the pub at all? paying more than the off licence price for a can of special brew and drinking it in your own home would surely be more logical

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

[2degreesfrommadness]

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!

[wee quinnie]

I was in the fab Gowlett recently, and I am sure I saw a dad helping his kids with their homework - which I thought was quite amusing.

[mightyroar]

er...Azul wrote

'I'm not one of them, I've never been.' (a child)

so rather than call him/her an alcoholic (which i didnt- Keef did)

i am inferring from his/her post that he is in fact some sort of logic loving alien.

Azul- are you in fact a vulcan?

Where in that post did I call Azul an alcaholic?

[Azul]

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 ?

[Brendan]

It's down the road

Not a patch on the CPT though. Oh it may have chairs that don't collapse under you and it?s paint may not be peeling but do these things a pub make?

"No children, if you have ?20 and go to the bar and as for 2 pints of London Pride, 2 bottles of coke, 3 bags of crisps and a bag of scratching - how many pubs will you get served in?"

[EDOldie]

Was it a spelling test then?

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.

[LuvPeckham]

He He

what is Strict Teachers view on all of this ?

Haven't heard from her since her last discussion on the forum about kids...

[PeckhamRose]

There are now several topics about pubs and child free areas and I am getting confused tho still sober.

To answer someone's question, The Clockhouse overlooks Peckham Rye Park on the SE22 side junction with Barry Road.

[Ladygooner]

Heard on the news this morning that Wetherspoons are going to restrict parents with children in pubs to two drinks only - to save the embarrassment of kids seeing their parents drunk. A step in the right direction I think!

[Azul]

I asked about the clockhouse, dunno know where barry road is but I'll find it out.

went to uplands this morning, I thought that kids wouldn't go there.

bullshit, 5 minutes after we got in, 3 of them came around.

they're everywhere, just like that new virus.
