My sister and I were lucky as children: when we were on holiday and Mum and Dad fancied a drink we were not parked outside the pub alone with a packet of crisps and a bottle of pop, they sat with us – we all shivered together. Not for them the handy excuse offered by the licensing laws for a child free hour or so. Modern pubs are family friendly and children are inside, not left loitering on the street.
