Approx ten years ago, India Knight, Sunday Times columnist, ranted about pubs and restaurants refusing to allow young children in certain pubs and bars for meals etc. She invited readers to write in so she could produce a blacklist to name and shame the landlords.
What she didn't bargain for was the number of people who wrote in asking for a copy of said blacklist so they could go and have a civilised Sunday lunchtime in a village pub/restaurant.
