Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Clifton Miners Welfare Institute had to change it's name to Clifton Miners Social Club when it lost the sponsorship of the Coal Board. It's now classed as a charity and has to do things for the community. My eldest son went there for a football presentation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moobug 3 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 When I was a kid (which I suppose isn't that long ago) my dad used to meet my grandad for a pint, but my brother and I were NOT allowed inside - we had to sit at the outdoor tables or play in a play area. If we wanted to speak to them, we had to stand in the doorway to the bar area and try to get their attention. I was told it was the law, but I suspect my dad knew we wouldn't question it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm glad kids are allowed in pubs - it has stopped me going out and spending a fortune on drink. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 My second was in Victoria Centre at one of the cafés in the market. To be fair, the all day breakfasts in the big cafe at the back are not to be sniffed at. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
