I told them that "I'm afraid that although we are child friendly, we do not have a strong enough family market in this area to put forward an exclusively child centered offer"

See this is the problem if you try to engage with these people rather than going straight for punching them in the tits.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 15 Feb 2013, 13:03, Reply)

it's just so fucking clear that we are not the sort of pub that is really for children.
I even make a point of buying eye height to battered pointy edged tables, and have uneven floors as standard.

People with kids are super-cunts.

People with kids in Oxford are so cunty as to tear holes in the space/time CUNTinuum.

I don't dislike children, but people who insist they can still do all the same stuff, and go to all the same old places with a double buggy the size of a small hippo in tow are silly faces.

As a parent who likes a drink.
I would never take my kids to a child-friendly pub as they are shit and full of cunts.
But I don't expect the pubs I go to to cater for my kids.
It's helpful if they stock crisps as this contributes to my efforts to stop the kids annoying other people.

Apparently kids shouldn't have much salt
1 to 3 years: 2g salt a day (0.8g sodium)

Also, I just don't take my kids into pubs
'Family Friendly' doesn't stop other adults getting drunk, using bad language (such as 'Fuck' and 'Tits') and even becoming violent.
I'm sure that your establishment is nothing like this, but I'd rather not take the chance.
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Fri 15 Feb 2013, 13:19, Reply)

lol, you said tits.
It gets pretty rowdy in the evenings sometimes, so we have a no under 18s after 730 policy.
I worry more about things like broken glass and dirt, kids like to crawl around on floors, and pub floors are filthy. I often find glass in the soles of my shoes after a busy shift, you never seem to get it all up the first try
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 15 Feb 2013, 13:27, Reply)

Absolutely
Best just to not take them in there at all. Or if they have a garden, sit out there with them. As I say, people with kids are cunts.

You should have replied:
"Madam, this is a pub. It is not a creche. We don't have high chairs, we don't have children's menus (unless you count the non-alcoholic drinks behind my glowingly polished bar), we don't have a ball pit. We have a pool table, a darts board and enough regulars that I am not terribly bothered about your custom. I suggest going elsewhere."
