Kids In Pubs

Listening in on the radio 5 live show this morning with the topic of should Kids under 16 be allowed in pubs. With everyone going on about the smoking ban being the main reason for pub closures it seems to me that it isn't the only factor that pubs are closing. When i go out for a drink i try to avoid the places that kids are present and funnily enough these place don't seem to close.

That's the problem, not the kids themselves. I've got 4 kids, and I reguarly take my 11 year old lad with me on a Sunday watch the football.

On the rare occassion the others are in a pub it usually at a wacky warehouse pub or out in the beer garden.
in and around the bar is no place for kids, it's not fair on the kids who are bored and it sure isn't fair on the blokes who want a peaceful pint of ale and swear to their hearts content about the goverment :)

But I've never let my kids run about unless in my local were people know them, I don't want kids screaming and getting in my way when I'm out so I don't expect others to put up with mine.

To convert all areas in the so called PUBS to places where you can order food is a big mistake, going back to the old style public houses where you have 2 rooms is possibly the answer and quarantine the little buggers....... i mean darlings.

My mate in Halifax used to moan like hell about kids in pubs with all the screaming and piss-arsing around, but now he has twins ( I rather thoughtfully refer to them as Stop 'n Step ), he's completely changed his attitude towards them and says they should be allowed in all pubs.

Personally I think there should be one of those "This high to ride" type restrictions that you have in theme parks before they're allowed in.

The traditional British Pub is no place for children. Imagine if you were having a peaceful game of Final Fight with all the 10ps you had just won from DonD Gold. Suddenly someone's child presses 2 player up and starts picking up all the metal bars and knives and eating all the roast beef. That just wouldn't be on would it?
Even worse if they were actually better at the game than you and you kept having to put in your own 10ps whilst their pocket money got them all the way from the back alleys to the bosses mansion.

Kids should stick to the arcades. £5-£10 board on each hi-tec.

Up to a ton for a board on £5 GG's. Initiate them well.

i dont mind kids anywhere coz i have a batch of them so im used to it,
i had one little black girl about 8y-old try and hit the button once about 5 years ago and i gave her "the look" and she fucked off sharpish,
