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.
AIBU?
WIBU to think of Mumsnet whilst witnessing this family today?

Bury is where I grew up ! The food festival was very nice I live t,other side farnworth great lever end ! They had some nice stalls too I was wandering around a couple of weeks ago with my pound chippy chips
I agree Bolton is shabby now. I don't think they should have changed the Market Hall, but I'm keen on seeing what those restaurants will look like underneath!
I'm up in't Heaton area. Went to good old Smithills School
Ds will go to mount st Joseph's I was walking around the market hall the chamber things underneath did look Intersting
We're all going to end up being related next!
The vaults under the Market Place sound exciting, it'll be great having a cinema in the town centre again without having to traipse up to Horwich. It'll be easier for our teens too as it's much easier getting a bus in town to meet your mates instead of mithering for a lift or walking to the Blackburn rd cinema which they sometimes do.
The proper market is still good though, we like the food court bit they've created in the middle.
CFS ha ha! Same here, think I've perfected the sibilant 'don't do that' command 
I know Queen ds keeps pointing out the crane building it we go to the market every week to get our meat for the week love it!
Yes St James's not St Joseph's
Ah cool there's quite a few well known people from Bolton isn't there. Amir Kahn and Peter Kay went to my old school.
Is Paddy McGuinness from Bolton too? He certainly sounds like he is haha.
