Chicken Wing Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 im sure the law used to be that kids are allowed into pubs up to something like 8pm but have to be a certain distance from the bar.i also remember being in a Wetherspoons a few years ago and the father and 3 kids that had been in for lunch was refused a third pint as he had his kids. that could just have been their policy rather than the law though. who takes their kids out for lunch and steams through pints!?Throbber? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ah-dee Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Did the recent-ish change in blood alcohol limits not make having even one drink a bit risky?yeah hence why i said if anything. i should have been clearer. if im driving the kids i wont touch anything, never have as i couldnt live with myself if something happened. if its just me and her i might have one with my meal. cant remember the last time i ate out anyway and i doubt ive been out for a meal since the limit was lowered. not a fan of restaurants 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually advise you to have "no more than one standard drink per hour". I would've thought telling people not to drink at all if they're driving would be a more responsible policy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't touch a drop if I'm driving. I only drink to get pished so I don't see the point. The first I heard of the one drink an hour advice was when I was out with a guy who'd been drinking all night and he went to drive home. When I told him he'd be over the limit he said it was 11pm and he'd only had 5 drinks since 7pm. Mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably taking the pish or getting confused about the hours you need to sober up by the next day to drive legally. Can't remember if it's an hour for every pint or unit.

I would've thought telling people not to drink at all if they're driving would be a more responsible policy. This. Remember going on office nights out after I first arrived and people were talking about "only" having a couple of drinks but it's been 3 hours so should be ok to drive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Might have mentioned this before, but the new(ish) ATMs that Santander have been using for the last year or two. Slower than f**k, so you press the touchscreen and it takes an age to respond, and a total absence of haptic feedback, so you've no idea if your touch has been acknowledged in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
