Why the hell do certain families of the chav community suddenly decide it is a good idea to take little Kyle and Chardonnay to the pub on a weekend lunchtime?<br /><br />Why can't we have some pubs that admit children and others that don't? Just like we should have some pubs that allow smoking and others that don't.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-80966727251101064672011-03-19T17:03:59.210+00:002011-03-19T17:03:59.210+00:00Fair enough - but I think specifying noisy childre...Fair enough - but I think specifying <b>noisy</b> children was a bit of a leading question!

Things like<br /><br />- serves meals<br />- admits children<br />- fruit machines<br />- jukebox<br />- piped music (not from jukebox)<br />- no real ales<br />- horrendously overpriced real ales<br />- boring real ales<br />- doesn't serve meals<br />- doesn't admit children<br /><br />...I could go on!<br /><br />I'd vote for 6, 7 and 10 in that order. The real interest for me would be the number voting for 2 - I suspect it'd be lower than you think.Philhttp://ohgoodale.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-46461316551356685632011-03-19T14:22:45.893+00:002011-03-19T14:22:45.893+00:00How about one concerning currently legal activitie...How about one concerning currently legal activities you'd like to see most in pubs?
