Wetherspoon pubs limit parents to two drinks
Adults who come to the JD Wetherspoon pubs are allowed only two alcoholic drinks in a bid to limit their stay. A company spokesman has said that the idea behind this is that the chain is not happy with children being around for long periods of time as there are no play facilities for children. What do you think? Is this a good idea? Could it have benefits?

Its about time we brought back the old rules of not serving people if they appear drunk, not to mention how much of a bad role model you become by not being able to go out and have a drink without getting drunk anywhere.

It is an offense for any parent (or adult) to be drunk in charge of a child under 7, so Wetherspoon's are upholding an existing law.
Children should not be in pubs. There are plenty of places for families to go to eat and be entertained, and Licensed premises should not be one of them. The children are exposed to behaviour (excess drinking, bad language etc) which is impressionable and unsuitable. There is also nothing for children in pubs, so they are unstimulated and bored, leading to bad behaviour and irritation to other customers.

I find myself in the unusual and frankly terrifying position of agreeing with Gromit. Kids should not be in Boozers full stop. The 2 drink rule helps I suppose but what kind of parent takes their child to the pub? Nothing for them to do but play among the drinking paraphernalia etc. Ok ok before you start, if there's a specific play area fine. Also if it's like the bar at the local sports centre wher you might have a drink after some activity, Im talking about going to the Kings arms for a pint with the kids in tow, no no no!

The short version is that Wetherspoon welcome children for the time it takes to stuff their fat little faces with burgers from their 'Kids Menu' and then want rid ASAP.

Well Legend as a mum of three I have had plenty of run ins with men grabbing my daughter or harrassing her as she passed and this was when she was about 11 or 12 so I do actually know what I'm talking about and I cannot understand how you think I would be lying.
Lots of my friends have said the same and some Landlords have also admitted that there can be a problem with dodgy men and children and by the way thanks for your aggressive outburst, we are all just saying about experiances and I don't think you need to be so arrogant.

isis, that may well be the case in the area you live, I wouldnt like to disagree with you at all.
Children can be preyed on by peadophiles in any place, recently there was a case locally here where a child was messed with by a guy in a bookshop. And who didnt see the report of the attack on a child in a supermarket.
Family restaurants that serve alcohol are different to the all day boozers. Some people dont see that difference.
