13:3330927Where is the common sense in all this? I am ashamed to walk past those 2 pubs mentioned, especially with the kids or when visitors are around. I walked past the Albert this week and there was a woman sitting outside hissed as a carrot, swearing about nothing at all to her friend. in as loud a voice as possible. Cafe culture is great - I love it. i lived in Paris for a few months when young - it works and is lovely. but it can't work when we are too weak and half-arsed to address those who spoil it. Too often the bullies and the eejits take over and we don't stop them - where are the cops? Where is the sense? Anyone can see the difference between a drink and a chat outside under an umbrella, and the abusive and idiotic drunks who inhabit those seats meant for people with manners. It's not rocket science.

14:2930932Zero tolerance is the answer!! Proper policing (not just by the police!) and social unacceptance.

19:2530963the two pubs that seem to have the rowdiest drinkers don;t have many young customers!!
bern is right, we all want cafe society but the powers that be seem disinterested.
noted your comment there brian, very true indeed.

your mum and her mate go right down the back where they can not hear the filthy language outside.
incidentally, they do rather good coffee in there.
