David Cameron's drinking

[jacster33]

What do you think of the pictures of David Cameron drinking Guinness at 3.30pm in the afternoon, with new baby daughter in the room?
Responsible parenting?

FGS

i'd be more concerned that he has hired a "personal photographer"

"What do you think?"

I think you're shit-stirring.... and you know it.

'What do you think?'

that it is such a non issue that i do not have an answer.

"what do you think?"

The only thing I can say to him is "cheers"

Surely the OP is just being a bit light hearted - why are all getting your knickers in a twist?

The PM is a role model, no? NOT PARTICULARLY
We have a problem with drinking and binge drinking in this country.TRUE, TRUE
Is having a pint in the afternoon of a working day sending out the right message? WHAT IS THE RIGHT MESSAGE - THAT ONE SHOULD WAIT TIL THE SUN IS OVER THE YARD ARM?
One often leads to two etc? DOES IT ? NOT IN MY EXPERIENCE
And will dad's think: "The PM does it, so it's ok for me"? I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO THINKS IN SUCH A SHEEPLIKE MANNER - PERHAPS YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR FRIENDS. BAAAAAAAAAA.
Does it impair his judgement with regards looking after his newborn? ONE PINT? NAH
What do you think? I THINK YOU ARE OVER THINKING THIS

"One often leads to two etc? DOES IT ? NOT IN MY EXPERIENCE"

agree entirely, it often leads to a lot more than that in my experience too

I think the OP has read too many of the last government's "guidelines". Those days are over, let us rejoice with a glass or two

Agree with grumpypants and Panzee, if that is a pint of guiness he either needs to have a serious chat to whoever pulled it or learn some patience.

I find it very offensive indeed.

I think the OP works for the Daily Fail.

To be honest now, he doesn't look like he's enjoying it that much. Probably missing the champers...

hah ha claig , in fact everyone

poor old OP

feel a bit sorry

An adult, having a pint, in the afternoon, with/after/just before his lunch.

meh

Now if he was getting plastered in the afternoon and was in sole charge of the baby and due to being drunk dropped the baby on the floor - that would be a "mumsnetters are outraged" story you could go back to your paper with...

Get. a. grip.

confused?

We are making jokes speculating that you are a journalist after a story.

MN gets a lot of that.

We are also saying that a pint in the afternoon is really no big deal and let's focus on things that really matter. Like where cuts should really happen, for example.

jacster33, isn't much of an answer as to why you would register here specifically to post this. Please enlighten us.

OP have a Guinness flavoured

No Dads that get pissed up in the afternoon do it on the basis of DC as a role model.

I'd like to know your opinions

No comments about the contents of Florence Cameron's bottle

Formula you think?

Well, you've got 'em.

We don't care about an adult having a pint in the afternoon surrounded by other people also having the odd drink and in a safe place where no child is in any danger. We don't, judging by the responses on this thread, think that having a pint in the afternoon is telling people that it's ok to go spend all your money getting pissed up and go home, beat up your wife and kids and piss in the wardrobe.

okay

our opinions are that it's no biggie and that there are other fish to fry

our knickers are really in a knot over other stuff

off you pop
