Just a wish...(there was a baby/pram/child free pub in ED)


Recommended Posts

If you think of pubs as relaxed licensed restaurants it's easier to understand families going there to socialise.


These are no longer places where men go to drink and smoke and bet.


Post 8pm pubs revert to places for adults. Which is as it should be. What's the problem?


I understand people want children to behave and hopefully in the main they do but I'd rather have an occasional poorly behaved child rather than a poorly behaved adult such as you are likely to cone across in a non family friendly pub.


The fact that people judge these spaces as suitable to bring their children means it's passed as a civilised place to be.


If you find a pub with no familles on a Saturday afternoon for example then go there. The Castle for example. But it's likely to have failed the parental scrutiny test for a reason.

For me drinking is usually an evening pursuit anyway. Like mickmac says, all pubs are kid free in the evening.


As for fazer's comment... if the licensee really is fed up with kids in the pub then it's easy enough for them to ban them. Except they don't want to miss out on the family lunchtime trade. Well boo hoo.

When I was young kids in the pub meant 15-18 year olds getting

drunk on watered down lager.

Fwiw

This is a quote from the observer newspaper.

The ambience of the British boozer is being ruined by screaming babies and children whose parents allow them to run riot, according to disgruntled licensees and customers.



Also m.


All pubs are now family pubs.



I don't have a problem with kids in pubs if they behave themselves.


The problem is the berserker lunatic children who run riot and their idiot parents who can't control their nutty offspring.

But then given they are what they are it's little surprise their kids are loopy.

Hehe while I agree and that made me laugh...I don't think I've ever seen this in ED. Having only very recently had a baby I plan to meet other mates with kids in ED pubs as it's a good place for us to meet. The woodhouse for example is always packed with kids and I love the vibrancy.


Maybe I'm getting too old for moody boozers that smell of 40 year old fag ash

Oh it is now the 'Old Codgers' with a pint of mild during the afternoon!!

What a load of tosh!- from apparently one of the 'new pseudo mice men'(Andrew binnary) with harness and baby on chest.

The 'Old Codgers' with a pint of mild do not exist, they last did this after the war and have expired with their medals, thankfully not subject to the ignorance displayed by 'Young 'parents now who have no social graces-place their 'nappy'dressed grubs' on the counter with no thought of hygiene.

And the 'New breed of Young' females who will sit as a group(in the afternoon) with a single bottle of the cheapest wine and 6+ glasses ,which lasts for 2 Hours, whilst they let loose any older offspring on everybody else and corral themselves in with a their buggies etc-,quiet often obstructing adult access to the toilets, whilst they breast feed.

Do me a favour grow up- from your cocoon.

By the way I was trying to find a thread I was advised had been posted on my local pub, the Herne Tavern, re something else when I found your slurry and now see why I have not viewed the EDF for years I have better things to do and this foray has proved it to be a wise decision.

    • Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
