Was playing badminton with 11 year old dd, early evening, while on the other side of the hall, separated by a screen (couldn't see over) a bunch of men playing five a side football. Luckily we were only all together in the hall for ten mins, but during that time I heard loud, excitable swearing, as they expressed themselves playing the game.
I didn't think it was ok, so I calmly mentioned to the receptionist as we were leaving later, what had happened, and perhaps next time that group make a booking, they could be reminded that other people use the leisure centre and to watch their language as there were children around.
I was told that this wasn't possible. When I asked why, expecting them to say there wasn't possible on the computer system or something, I was told that the centre 'just couldn't' with a shrug. This is a large centre that promotes lots of kid and family activities.
I'm really unhappy about this, I mean, how bad would the swearing have to get (affecting other people) before this isn't acceptable. Am I just old fashioned? WWYD next?
