I hate pubs that have kids in.
I don't go screaming around ToysRUs, so why can't we have equality!

Always avoid a pub with a climbing frame in the garden.

I had to go to the medical centre yesterday (miles from home) I went in a big pub for lunch and it was full of kids playing the fruit machines (illegal) while their parents were getting tanked up. Naturally I drank my lunch quickly and scuttled back to my local.  |

Agreed, jimshoo; kid's don't belong in pubs. Hope your local was more enjoyable (i.e., childless)  |

Yes! Telly's another thing that can spoil a good pub - depending how big and loud it is. If it's discreet enough to be ignorable I don't mind it.
The worst thing for me I think is the incessant THUMP THUMP THUMP of "music" so loud that you can't hold a conversation, let alone have a quiet read.

In Ealing my local was opposite the BBC studios aqd thus always full. On Fridays , I used to take the eldest to Scouts. Just by the scouthall was a pub that had converted it's snug into a mini library. It had an open fire, armchairs and a selection of books. I used to look forward to the luxury of being there alone (early evening) and having a read and a pint by the fire...............
