Please ban karaoke from the British pub....... women or Roy Orbinson lookalikes that think they can sing is bloody dreadful. Give me a bar with the odd child in that isn't watching some reality crap on TV speaking to me and getting life experience any day for me. ..... We aren't Japanese, why do we pay good money for a beer and listen to far worse than the odd child. 《Stepped down off his pedestal》yes you may have guessed I just endured some awful experience whilst trying to drink my Timothy Taylor Landlord

You ain't been in 1 of the many pubs in Eccleshall this evening have you?
My sister goes in all the Killeroake pubs, her daughter has been booked to 'entertain' in them a few times too. Both sound like cats in heat when they start warbling.
You stand on that pedestal babb, i'd join you if me belly, and other bits wouldn't knock you off.

Was in The Bell yesterday afto watching the rugby when a couple came in, two kids in tow, one of them on one of those small wheeled scooters. Managed to collide with a table before dad told said child to take the scooter outside. What were they thinking of?

No idea why they'd take kids to where the rugby is playing anyway, regardless of the scooter? Sports in pubs and kids do not mix, you can't expect the lads getting drunk yelling at the screen to mind their language just because you have a kid with you.

A very generalised view. On the other had we took our son to a pub for a football match the other week. He was welcomed, the punters enjoyed having him there and he was even able to crawl about a bit without feeling unsafe.

Families should be made to feel welcome in places as much as anyone else, sport or no sport. You can't expect people with kids to cut themselves off from friends and socialising.


Then again, I'm also a parent where if my son was making excessive noise or being a disturbance then we wouldn't stay. I understand peoples right to have a good time too.

As for lads getting drunk screaming swear words at a TV……I'd argue my son is the one in more control! ;)

Unfortunatley the interest died off but now she's (Niece) on about it again. Does U13's mean 13 year olds can also play? I forget the rules. Cracking memory tho! :)

After "bedtime" I completely agree. Before 7ish I'd say it's fine. My example being one of the Saturday 17:15 kickoffs on Sky. Out of the pub by about 7.

When I were a lad we merely had to take off our school tie for anonymity reasons, never did me any harm!

I used get served in the Labour in Vain when I was 16. I'd been going in there with my sister a while, when the landlord at the time asked me which school I went to. He'd seen me stood outside waiting for the bus.

I think Traditional Pubs should be adult only but most pubs these days are really restaurants and therefore need to appeal to families.

I like going for walks with my family and dog we rarely find anywhere we can go in for a drink or meal.

The Yorkshireman in Rudgley is the only dog friendly pub we have found in the area.

I think the Spittal Brook used to allow pets in - as long as they were accompanied by a human.

A local cat used to sneak into the Tap and Spile, despite being told that he was barred - he found it much easier when the smoking ban started and people started hovering around outside..

More money in food, I wouldn't run a traditional pub unless I owned the premises outright and pub companies own the majority.
