catfan 14,782 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 It's official, as if we didn't bleddy know already. Now hopefully some brave brewery might sit up & take note & ban the kids full stop. They will get my custom ! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/shopping-and-consumer-news/11840886/Screaming-children-spoiling-pub-visits-says-Good-Pub-Guide-2016.html Look at these prizes, not a very good example to kids. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/sep/03/pub-goers-children-badly-behaved-complaint-good-pub-guide 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrphanAnnie 296 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I hate all these 'child friendly' pubs - the little dears should not be allowed in full stop!! We had to wait until we came of age so why can't today's kids? They'll have child friendly bookies next........ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,272 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I thought about your comments when I read this in the paper this morning Catfan. What Catfan says one day the national press print the next day! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Thanks for that Catfan,makes sense. I have seen it in mass on a Sunday,a kid running around church disturbing everyone, parents (insecure!!) to embarrassed or lazy to get the brat to sit down.was in a house lately and the kid said "crisps- NOW!!". I said to the Mum," come 9 or 10 and he will be thumping you". When I am in Nottm,always do Sunday lunch out as invariably I go back to Tipp on the Monday. From Shepherds to The Reindeer to Nottm Knight all ruined!! The worst experience I saw of this was chav city- the all you can eat Cattle Car opposite what was Pearson's on Upper Parliament st.My sacred Aunt..ten tonners..not eating dinners..but pigging out on continuous returns to the ' Vienetta trough'. Meanwhile the little swines tanked up on nuggets and dilute coke were running riot while Mr and Mrs puffa jacket were hardening their arteries to qualify for more benefits and a mobility scooter that they can put on eBay at a later date to avail of " I'm a lazy b*****d app on the mobile.

catfan 14,782 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Very well put Ian ! Me & Mrs Catfan left our last church because of unruly kids running riot during the service, we found a much better church without unruly kids causing havoc. All the kids being very well behaved. Unruly kids in pubs is bad enough but unruly kids in church, is nothing sacred any more ? Good point about Mr & Mrs puffa jacket ! Did you know walking sticks & crutches are nowadays referred to as "Benefit Sticks" or "Dole Poles" ? I am amazed by some people how they can run with a benefit stick,much faster than a perfectly able bodied fit person. The only time they seem to struggle is when either signing on or going to the Doc's for a sick note ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Good point about Mr & Mrs puffa jacket !

Stan 386 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Logic and common sense,Ian. You are very brave for stating facts as you see them. You will soon have the P .C. Crowd after you though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,782 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Ian is a bit like me Stan, him being an ex Bulwell lad, he won't lose any sleep over the PC brigade ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Catfan,I have said it so many times..you make me scream with laughter, your no- nonsense approach is just about my 'barrah' an all!! Stan,dumped PC people when that gombeen Lord Looney Longford tried to free Hindley. Not popular man sometimes.. but as Fly2 said " spuds to em" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 It is a sad state and I can understand how p!ssed off folk get with all this. There is a simple solution though, pay a bit more. Don't frequent the two-for-ones, all-you-can-eats, cheap-n-cheerfuls etc. where you know what you'll have to put up with. There are plenty of places to eat or have a drink where there aren't kids, or if there are, they've been bought up with decent manners and behave themselves. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,782 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Your solution to the problem is not a solution TBI. Not just eating establishments, including pubs but this scourge is everywhere. We have already mentioned churches, don't forget public transport either. throughout society nowadays unruly kids are causing havoc whilst dopey, couldn't be arsed chav parents sit & do sod all.

TBI 2,351 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I fully agree with you about the general state of affairs, catfan, I'm not offering a solution for any of those, except pubs and eating establishments, as per your original post #1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomlinson 879 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I agree with all above about kids and it's Interesting that in the site 'Back To School' there were several 'likes' for the excellent poem expressing gratitude for the kids being back at school and therefore the responsibility of the teachers. It seems to me that many parents are too eager to off shoulder their own responsibilities for their children to anyone willing to take charge. I've seen it happen many times as a member of an Am Dram group. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 That's true up to a point. Many parents of the sort under discussion, absolve themselves of responsibility and don't care if anyone else takes responsibility either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Good parenting seeps into future generations, when young a black kid stole my trolley.. in the ensuing row I called him a n******,when my Dad found out,he frogmarched me up the street and made me apologise to the entire family.This was in 1970!! Didn't ever do it again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Thank's,nothing has changed in the last 30 years then,exept they seem to be younger. What happened to the 'young offenders' detention centres and Borstal training camps?Those places seemed to be the answer 50+ years ago. Most of the kids I remember being sent to these places, never went back a second time,a few became 'career criminals',and were in and out of prison on a regular basis, some of them thinking they were 'cool',I just saw them as idiots. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Unruly kids caused my local(50-60 yards away) to close It was all the landlord's fault he allowed a few parents with kids in but failed to control them All the regulars voted with their feet..................Need I say any more.

TBI 2,351 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 #16 Chavs don't have to be council-housed or violent. A Chav is just another name for the old-term yob. Young obnoxious bastard. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 @post 16 It means Council House And Violent. I object to that some of my best friends live in council houses and are certainly not yobs. Two of them are councilors on Charnwood Borough Council. Some of the worst behaved(not all) are students(some from wealthy families) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
