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!

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.

    • If I was on a table of two accused of eating thirty poppadoms (with pickles and chutneys) on top of curries and sides, I think I'd be inclined to say 'Yep, that was us' and ask the waiter to write off the entire bill. That is a truly heroic feat and should be recognised as such, even if you didn't actually do it.

    • Just avoided being overcharged in Superdrug, Peckham. Half price price on the shelves, but not half price at the till. If I'd been buying loads of things I might not have noticed
    • I would question ‘affordable’. Fit For is £115 per month for the standard (cheapest) membership.    for comparison, the leisure centre on CPRoad is £44 per month (£37 for concessions) and JAGs sports club is £60 per month, they also have various concession or family membership offers
