Our wedding invitations some 20 years ago stated: 'This occasion is not appropriate for children' I have been to so many where they just run around. Mrs Exascot's sister's brats would have done. OK, I could have beheaded them with my sword but then I would have had to pay for the carpet to be cleaned.
Regarding children on aircraft. In days gone by when asked at check in, 'Smoking or no smoking" I just said, 'I don't care just no children please'.
On one occasion in economy I had a brat sitting on it's grandmother's knee behind me swinging it's legs kicking the back of my seat. I 'gave the look' back between the gap a few times. I even asked politely if she would stop this. It continued. In the end I stood up and leaned on the back of my seat stared straight at the woman and said loudly, 'Please stop that child kicking the back of my seat. She said, 'but he is only three'. I responded, 'At this rate he will not make four'. It ceased, I sat back down to hear mutterings of, 'nasty man'.
