You didn't answer as to whether you had children of your own. I would love to hear, if you did, how you entertained them day in day out.


How do you know that the parents you see having lunch with their kids in a pub haven't spent the rest of their week out and about doing activities you deem "suitable". Do you talk or engage with them at all? Find out about their lives, how they juggle work and kids?


I don't know why I'm bothering even wasting my time on this, I know better, but "for fox sake" take a look at your posts and realise just how ridiculous they are!

I can't believe what I am reading here.


Sorry Fox but you have crossed a line.


My grandchildren have just gone home after spending a week with me and my OH in ED.


We had a great time out and about - planetarium, museums, feeding the ducks/pigeons in the park (not bread), healthy packed lunches every day etc etc and SHOCK HORROR we went to the pub and we DIDN'T EVEN EAT THERE (apart from crisps) WE JUST HAD DRINKS. And my OH and I had ALCOHOLIC DRINKS whilst sitting with the children.


On the Palmerston roof garden which they greatly enjoyed.


Do you actually know anything about children? Apart of course from your own childhood. Because if not, I suggest you stop making a fool of yourself on this thread and just STFU.


You really don't do yourself any favours when you pontificate about things you appear to know absolutely nothing about.

My wife was a nanny and we had one of the children living with us because his parents were City flyers

who spent most of their time in wine bars neglecting their child.


In more recent times I've witnessed neglect by parents who allow their little darlings to run riot

and are the first to want to sue the pub if they fall over and 'Bump' their little heads.


Sue.. Yes there are responsible guardians .. Usually Grandparents.. as in your case..


Having no experience of raising children has nothing to do with anything. Its like saying if you have never

been to war you cannot comment on it being bad..


One can generally tell good parents by the way they interact with their children and talk to them.

Of course spending all day in the pub getting drunk with bored kids in tow would be terrible parenting. But I don't know anyone who does that - and if I did, I'd probably try to un-know them pretty sharpish.


Sunday lunch in the pub with the family should be a fun occasion for everyone. Go to the park first and let them burn off the surplus energy and work up an appetite. Don't drink too much. Bring some toys/colouring/books/etc so they don't get bored. If they start crying/screaming take them outside. Why on earth would anyone have a problem with that?


If you want to get pissed and shout and swear with your boozy pals, pick an appropriate pub (or area of the pub), or just wait until the evening. And stop moaning.

I don't get pissed, I don't have boozy mates, I drink at the EDT which does not have a problem with kids.

(not that they are always a Problem) and I do not drink during the day.. (well rarely) I do drink in the evening.


and.. I'm not moaning.. You will soon know when I am moaning.. :)

Fair enough.. Jeremy..


I'm not against kids in pubs. Many of my friends had kids with them a few years back..

and some of them may well of been guilty of what has been discussed here.


My parents were not big drinkers but we did go to the pub oddly enough in the evening (Sat)

Kids were not allowed inside and there was no food. We used to go to The White Horse (small garden)

As a big treat the Fox on the Hill but mainly The Globe (now flats) Peckham Hill street.

There was a cockle stall but as a real treat I got 2 Shillings (10p) and had Rock and Chips sit down

at Bells fish shop. Long gone.. My first experience of dining out. and gaining my independence.

Took my kids to the pub yesterday to meet a friend for lunch. Would much rather they hadn't been there, but it was that or not meet friend (who I'd not seen in an age). As it was we sat in the garden and if they got too close to someone else's table I called them back to me.


So if anyone had tutted / complained I'd have told them to jog on as I was being considerate.


Had I studiously ignored what they were doing and let them run around other people's tables, then people would have had every right to consider me a selfish cunt.

Going back to Jan's daily mash post, I love the bit


?It?s like I?ve been very, very slowly barred from my pub by the process of making it even more unbearable than spending the night at home.?



And do sometimes feel that way, but that has little to do with kids and more to do with prices and what the majority like doing (eating rather than boozing).

Just caught the tail end of an item on this subject on Radio 4's 'PM'. The comment about having to put up with children "running amuck; sorry - expressing themselves," could have been straight from here :)


Item probably started around 1750 if you're thinking of listening on iPlayer Radio.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
