W**kers in pubs with kids.

You can tell when a pub is on its last legs.
If you go in early doors and the only customers are a few kids, late teens , early 20’s with prams and some little cherubs running around out of control it’s usually an indication it will be closed within a few weeks.
 
In the 70's we had to behave in pubs. I used to have to spend the whole time sat on great uncle Quentin's knee.
He always told me to keep quiet.
Even in the late 90s and early 00s I remember our local’s regulars telling us young’uns (18-22 year olds) off when we got a bit rowdy and told to fucking calm it down or they’d sling us out.

Anyone with kids making a racket were told the same thing.

…and then social media with added review sites, came along and establishments kowtowed to the potential negative reviewers because they knew it was more hassle to stand up for the rest of their punters that instant, than to deal with the longterm consequences of a bad incomplete facts review hanging around forever on the internet.
