I thought that I had gone out on a limb or perhaps pushed the envelope a tad, but Mr. Dog, you make me sound like St. Francis or St. Nicholas!

Indeed - they plan to take over the world one day.

And finally, sarah2, Del Aziz like Tas are chains!

TAS was not a chain when my children were toddlers. It was a new and very busy venue in The Cut. My son actually asked to have his 4th birthday meal there, because the waiters were lovely and there was a real sense of occassion. Perhaps this attitude is one of the reasons it grew into a chain.

I did not eat out a lot when I was a child, but we did get taken up to Soho to some quite famous restaurants for big family occassions. We were expected to behave properly and we did. I assume the same from my children.

There is something strange about the way it appears to be assumed that all children are badly behaved and that it is inevitably the parents fault.

To a large extent London children are expected to be invisible. My daughter has just started commuting to school by tube and for the first week we have been taking her part of the way. We are astonished how many quite small children we now spot navigating their way through London rush hour on their own with huge and heavy rucksacks. We just never noticed them before. A group misbehaving would be noticed and presumably the assumption would be that children dont know how to behave and so should not use public transport.
