Businesses do need to be cautious nowadays...

Just get one thing wrong with dealing with the public, and suddenly your restaurant/cafe has made the headlines in the Daily Mail!

I'm inclined to side with the parent. I run a very small business myself, and I'd like to think that in a similar situation we'd help the parent, we certainly would never speak disrespectfully to a customer.
I guess the coming bank holiday weekend tell the owners whether they still have a business or not.

It would depend on what their definition of 'shouted at' really is, asking someone politely to not change a nappy around where people are eating is a perfectly reasonable request in my eyes. Actually shouting about it though would border on an unreasonable response.
However I would question the integrity of the average daily mail reader to actually give an accurate representation of the events that took place when they are trying to get their story in that paper.

Shouted at? All depends, I know one person who thinks they've been shouted at if spoken to in anything other than "walking on eggshells" tone. Yes they are a snowflake. Yet the same person often has, when they are speaking to others, a most strident in your face manner.
Lucky you. I work with a whole bunch of them.I suspect the business will continue quite happily without her or those who would sympathise. Must have been a slow news day.., you know, no Donny, terrorists, NK to worry about.
At the end of the day 99% of the population couldn't care less despite what they may say on FB.
They may lose this woman and a couple of other nutters but i see that as a positive personally.
I never knew about the place before and no doubt 100's of thousands of others didn't either, they do now. I'd say that's a win for the restaurant.
In regards to this incident though the fact that she thinks there is nothing wrong with having a naked child with chicken pox with a nappy full of crap in hand right next to people eating lunch says it all really.

What kind of English is this?
And no, I don't want to see nappies being changed while I'm eating.
I'm sure this can be put in both the "kids with stupid names" thread and the "council" thread.What kind of English is this?

Nappy thing is secondary and wouldn't necessarily be a big issue for me assuming it wasn't next to where people were eating. Although I'd guess consideration for others wasn't high on her list.
I wonder if this will make it to the heady heights of the Mail: http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-new...
TO be honest I'd be a bit put off my dinner by a s
tty nappy being changed.
A parent of twins is going to have issues. I accept that. I can't imagine that a cafe owner would necessarily make a changing room big enough for two toddlers. But a less militant mother may have gone somewhere more discreet....
