Getting a bit anxious in case my grandchildren (visiting next week) somehow get separated from us in a crowded place, particularly as they won't be familiar with their surroundings. Worst scenario would be the tube :(


Don't want to embarrass them by writing mobile numbers on their arm etc..


Have left it a bit late now - does anybody know of anywhere locally I can get some sort of ID bracelets which you can write on with waterproof pen? I suppose something like they have in hospitals would work.


Thanks!

How old are your grandchildren? If old enough to understand and explain to another adult, you could write emergency contact numbers etc on a small piece of card, attach it to a belt loop or something similar with some yarn and instruct them to show it a responsible adult if they get lost. Probably wouldn't work for a child under 4y.
Jojo Maman Bebe sell these http://www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/sp+littlelife-safety-id-straps-in-baby-and-toddler-out-and-about+b1329 the Lordship Lane branch might have them in stock. Otherwise you could write your contact details on a bit of paper and put it in a shoe.

    • What Firkins were they? The only localish ones I remember were the Phoenix and Firkin and the Fox and Firkin. The Plough has changed its name several times, and then back to the Plough, but to the best of my recollection the Uplands Tavern was named that until it became The Actress, and The Bishop was called something else whose name escapes me (though the smell from the gents lingers in my memory) but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Firkin?
    • These statements were in the Consultation Findings report published (later than promised) just before the licence was granted:  "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the delivery of the council’s Events service, which supports the delivery of up to 100 free-to-attend community events per year – please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" I've drafted an email to request some more details of these "free-to-attend" events, as "up to" is a fairly meaningless description - could be 100, could be none? - and therefore doesn't help anyone to decide whether it is actually a benefit to the community or not. Even if it is 100, I'm not sure I could name even one of them? "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the provision of a grants fund – the Cultural Celebrations programme - please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" A similarly meaningless statement in terms of gauging whether, or how much, this is a benefit to the local community. What is it, what does it do, how much of the fee goes to it? And how can the fee go "directly" to two different things? Surely, "directly" means without deviation, straight to, without being changed or reduced?? Again, I'll be asking all these questions to the events dept. I find it outrageous & insulting that a public body can try to justify such an intrusive & disruptive event with such flimsy and opaque "benefits", with zero figures or details to quantify them. They may as well not bother with a consultation, just say "Look, we can't be arsed to justify our decision, it's happening so just deal with it".  
    • Thanks so much. Yes I have. Really appreciate your kindness in replying. Thank you.
