Nor do I so thank f**k someone else has taken up the burden. I feel like Al Pacino n Godfather 3 when Andy Garcia has agreed to take over as head of the Family.

Presumably due to rabid boredom due to the topic.


EDF - 2007 topics at 2008 prices....!! ::o


I think that most people don't mind kids in pubs or restaurants during the day, provided they behave 'within reason'. I was having lunch with my family at Barcelona on New Years Day along with several other families. One family had 2 children who ran amok, nearly pulling the till off its stand at one point and running around and generally acting like little demons. What did the parents do? Sweet F.A. apart from leaving a whole plate of food spilt on the floor and leaving the doors wide open on the way out. So really its up to us to have a word with the parents if the kids are annoying us, not gripe about it later on a forum.


If you do have the cajones to have a word with the parents about their little darlings, then good on you. Or even with the staff if that's too confrontational for you. If you don't, please don't bore the rest of us with last years news.

    • Well that is good news… alternative would have been homeless or private.
    • I was lucky that I received a student grant from 1990-1995 first 3 years for degree and 2 years post graduate bursary. Both were based on my income and I did not have to pay back. Eldest daughter got student loan and after 20 years managed to pay it off, Youngest daughter still paying hers 18 years later. Granddaughter - still paying after 6 years. Grandson decided against FE and secured an apprentenship. I am glad that I am an old codger and not young anymore !

    • It is not only Southwark - our grandson, partner and 7 year old had a one bed council flat for years in Harlow Essex and all the properties offered were in poor condition. They eventually took a property as if they refused another one they would drop to the bottom of the Housing List. It was damp and in need of a level of renovation. Having lived in these conditions for a while they were offered better council accommodation recently, but further away from child's school. They had to pay 2 lots of rent for a few weeks as council had to undertake work in the new premises before they could move in,
