Wetherspoons: Pub chain tells parents to stick to two drinks...

[cornish mackem]

Sometimes go in the Peterlee one if I’m off during the week.

horrific viewing watching the kids going straight there after school mind.

I call the one near me The School Canteen as it’s rammed with families after school. It’s cheap bait and drink brings out the worst in people and leads itself open to abuse by people who seem to think it’s acceptable.
Some families eat in there several times per week and the parents drinking too.
Now, I’ve not seen anyone mortal with kids but there’s got to be better ways of feeding the kids and better standards to set

Is it any worse than taking them to macdonalds?

15 miles each way to McDonald’s here and you can’t get Stella for £3 in Mac Donald’s.

As long as you don’t make a habit out of it, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a few drinks with your kids about.

My kids have been brought up as total snobs and would go mad if they had to mix with the scum that drink in a Wetherspoon's pub.

Behave man. Their dad is a smelly mag.

In my day we had to sit in the car and they brought out bottles of pop and crisps every hour or so.

Parents getting pissed with their kids with them in the pub is disgraceful really

Kids in pubs is a bit of a disgrace personally speaking .

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

You love your kids more when mortal man

They’re also more bearable

Letting women in the bar in the club was as equally bad.

Yeah. It's about knowing how to act in a public space. I see parents out with a pint with kids in tow with a weekend meal all the time in meal pubs. Cheap drink is just more likely to attract folk who take a lend. I suppose it says something that a two drink limit has become a story. Normally folk don't have two never mind more than two on a family meal out in a pub.

Mind I've eaten in Spoons a few times and the atmosphere has always been canny even when there's been kids in. Never been too loud never mind raucous.

The point of actually going out on the drink is to tap the flap and that .So I disagree with the WMC thing in general tbh

I'm not disagreeing in general but the club bar on a Sunday dinner time was a refuge mate.

What kind of tit wants to get pissed with their bairns anyway

It should be law imo

It has been a crime since 1902 to be drunk in charge of a child under the age of seven in a public place. The offence can be punished by a fine or up to a month in jail.

Correct, they should be paying more attention to their little Beyoncés and Beckhams.

It is also illegal to serve alcohol to a drunk person.

Surely one of the least enforced laws out there.

Definitely marra.

I'd rather parents were having three or four pints with their kids than leaving them alone in a hotel while going out on the piss
