This is what you said ferntwist:
I’ve lived in Spain and France and they are much more welcoming and accepting of babies and children at restaurants.
But not in Michelin starred restaurants as per the op. The majority of UK restaurants welcome babies and children, it is not something restricted to restaurants in France and Spain no matter how much you try to insist otherwise.
The Spanish and Catalans think nothing of having babies in restaurants at midnight and that’s definitely not just in resorts. It’s a much more family-centred culture.
There is a late eating culture in Spain and Catalonia, predominantly due to the weather - you know the fact that it is hot there in the summer and people take long leisurely lunches, have siestas, shops close in the afternoon and re-open in the evening, people eat later and go to bed later due to the working patterns, school days and holidays are different. The working patterns, school days, holidays and weather in the UK are entirely different.
Also people love making babies laugh and smile in public and are always saying hello on buses. Even teenage lads do this to babies in Spain, it’s a national pastime.
People do this in the UK too, unless of course I am imagining it, because I've seen it often.
Your whole post is critical of the UK attitude to children compared to the attitude on the continent, it was definitely telling us that we were child unfriendly in the UK as we are, according to you, not welcome and accepting of babies in restaurants.
I have spent a good part of my life in Catalonia so I don't need to ask any Spaniards or Catalans, thanks.
Never said you were unattractive or not allowed to comment.
