Yes I remember Wetherspoons refusing to serve my very obviously over 18, 21 year old bearded son with 'soft ' drinks because he had no ID to prove he was over 18 and despite my telling them that I was his mother.

And the place was crawling with kids.All the local pubs are..because of food being provided.

I'd like to have the choice of no children back..
