That’s a first. What service? And the shouty little manager? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s cull via lethal injection 50% of the under 5’s and any woman who has given birth within the past 3 years. That’ll free up a seat for you and keep the noise down. The thing I find irritating is the fact that some, not all, will hog tables for a good hour or so (after they've had whatever beverage) and not move over to the play area instead. That's just selfish. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By creating a thread to complain about them? That’s not very considerate, is it Billy? Well it is being considerate because everyone can join in making it fun for all to enjoy. And I bet even you had a chuckle to yourself, go on admit it you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious that you didn't have a word with the manager if mums and babies were more than you could handle. Betcha won't be complaining about those mums and babies when their taxes are paying your pension. If you cull them now you might go hungry in your dotage Sorry to stereotype but most of the ones clogging the place up are unlikely to contribute anything to the tax pot in their entire life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
