I had a couple of pals over for a weekend of aviation related activities and we retired to the local pub for refreshments. I hadn't been in there for years as the last visit was like walking in to a teenage disco. This time there was a children's party going on and the ankle biters were running through the bar. Not a word from the parents who were quietly getting pissed. Never again. Children should be barred. It isn't that pubs are the only source of food or shelter, it is the parents who want to be there.
