Why on earth would 98% of ton atendees care about children being present, except as a bad thing?
Speaking as a (very) irregular attendee, I wouldn't care to patronise a pub that invented arbitrary and undocumented rules that excluded friends of mine.
Quite apart from the annoyance of such actions, nothing spoils the taste of beer like a pub attitude that says "we view you solely as a resource stream"; I appreciate that this is to a certain extent inevitable in a pub large enough to hold the first-Thursdays, but it still speaks volumes about the management's attitude.
After all, people left the One Tun (at least partly) because the landlord was a homophobic bigot; I doubt if the entirety of the group were LGB in 1987.
