No, Alan Dale, not at all and that was kind of my point.

Childless is only appropriate if you feel it's a loss.

If a couple have chosen not to have children it's their choice and doesn't require any positive spin, because it's not, for them, a bad situation.

Sorry to go on about it, I know it's not strictly on topic, but I don't see why you can't accept that some people choose not to have children.

> Pretty much hit the nail on the head there Asset, how many of the anti-family pub crowd would have dared to venture into the Plough or the Forresters before they were re-invented.


In the interests of fairness, The Goose & Granite (The Plough) had loads of kids in there, they were just a bit more chavy, but equally f**king annoying!


*Runs for the hills*


Seriously, I don't think there is an "anti family pub brigade", or maybe there is. I just think most people think that if a kid is in the pub, the parents should take responsibility for it and not let it run wild. Is that unreasonable?


If the pub is actually running a baby session like the EDT and Plough have recently, then of course those who don't want to be around kids should use their heads and avoid those places, and don't really have the right to moan about kids being in there at those times.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
