The Daily Mail reports that the King’s Fee Wetherspoons in Hereford has started running a baby and toddler group in the bar area (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2045527/JD-Wetherspoon-pub-opens-mother-toddler-group-bar.html). It’s only from 10 am to 12 noon one day a week, so isn’t really going to bring about the end of civilisation, although you do have to wonder how well the kiddies will mix with the typical JDW early-doors clientele. But it’s hard to decide which is worse – the fact that it is happening at all, or the ludicrously sanctimonious comments expressing horror at children being taken into such a den of iniquity as a pub.

And it’s not so long ago that Prue Leith was proposing that pubs should be used for serving school dinners (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1205831/Open-pubs-children-school-dinners-says-food-writer-Prue-Leith.html) in rural areas.
