    I am talking about 1-2 pints here B, not double figures and dancing to Xmas songs like last Friday.

    They might just think you are a weirdo of course
    Perhaps, but as I get older, the number of people whose opinion of me I give a shít about has become vanishingly small, so - with respect - I couldn't really give a toss.

    I'm talking about 1-2 pints also. I cherish my time at weekends when I just slope off to the pub for a couple. Sunday lunchtime's best. You get free sausages and nibbles.

    Then they say it's the greatest thing.
    Then I say I've just been on holiday and they look sad.
    They're doing it wrong, P. That's all.

    Actually I go for a pint with the 10 year old.
    I always took even my baby boys to the pub, with a hound or two as well to make sure they behaved themselves, kept quiet.

    Blame the parents, imo. Obviously they used their money to spoil their children rotten. And further, they then encouraged their children to spoil themselves with their own money. So naturally, now, they want to spoil their own kids too. But, of course, they don't really have enough money for it anymore because they spent it all spoiling themselves. So what you've ended up with is one kid (or even no kids) devouring the same time and resources as three or four used to.

    Apparently it's complicated

    I would think the teenagers are a laugh. Ap ain in the arse, possibly, but I think I would find that funny. Although these days you cant give them a smack can you?

    To be fair, I never liked being woken up but there are exceptions to that and kids aren't one of them.

    Right. My dogs wake me up; the children wake their mother up.

    My dog never wakes me up and no, that would not be acceptable either
