Been a lovely afternoon today.
Took our three youngest DC to town to go ice skating and look at the lights before having dinner.
In the town centre there's a huge teepee marquee that is being used as a bar/restaurant/ during Christmas. Really lovely inside with twinkly lights and benches covered with blankets.
Anyway, whilst I was quaffing an overpriced mulled wine a group of women come in.
All nicely dressed with a gaggle of very sweet young children who proceeded to bazz around the bar area.
The women were sat ignoring the running kids who were weaving in and out of customers carrying drinks. The children (about 6 altogether) then quietened and sat down on a low stage.
Then, one go the mums turned in her seat and pipes up:
'Little Jimmy/Cuthbert/Twinkletoes! Run around again like before so I can take a photo if you!'
For fuck's sake.
Dicks.
Bet they'd be the first to complain if their kid ended up covered in gluhwein.
