Does anyone know if it has ever been discussed about having a symbol in the GBG for pubs that allow dogs? There seem to be so few nowadays that I would love to know where I could go for a walk and be able to get a decent pint afterwards along with my obedient and very quiet dog.
Regards,
Stuart Hudson
Personally I would like a symbol for pubs that do not admit under-18s under any circumstances ;-)

Seconded! When I'm slumping in the pub after work and sampling a pint of Old Sheepshagger or whatever, the last thing I want is for people to treat the pub as a kindergarten.
I have been tempted to go up to the bar, wave the food menu and ask if they serve child meals. If they answer in the affirmative, I shall ask them to serve (*points*) that screaming brat, stuffed, with a side salad and chips.
Jonathan Swift had the right sort of idea.
I can't recall discussions about dogs specifically but there are other facilities that have been suggested in the past that were probably more noteworthy and still failed to gain enough interest to over come objections to "excessive numbers of symbols"
To jump ahead to Peters comment a cross (X) through the childrens symbol should suffice shouldn't it? Or would you prefer the rocking horse beheaded ;-)
I agree wholeheartedly. I have wasted far too much time asking "Do you allow Dogs" a damn good idea! My hound is really great in pubs, you wouldn't even know she was there most of the time. Come on CAMRA pull yer finger out.
Perhaps if you contacted the kennel club and suggested they sponsor a few pages in the guide...
...alternately they could do their own.
Top of my list would be anyone from Stockport ;-)

There is of course:
Its an excellent resource listing a great many pubs to avoid.

There are some very nice people from Stockport...
That wasn't the response expected ;-)

Perhaps you should contact the BBC to see if they are going to do another series of Grumpy Old Men.
To head off on a slight tangent, I've suggested a "£" symbol for those pubs that have good beer but also charge way over the odds for it.

More dogs are than children :p
Yeah an you can still legally kick the dog when it misbehaves! /me ducks and dons body-armour ;-)
/me takes bait. :)
Well, no you can't. However, people seem to be more prepared to control their dogs, when asked. Unlike with their bloody kids.
/me wanders off grumbling.

And its even worse when it comes to obnoxious adults.

It's funny, it must be the pubs I go in, I very rarely encounter obnoxious adults (in the sense of those indulging in obvious, rowdy misbehaviour)
You don't have to go in. Wander through most towns near closing time on a Friday and Saturday evening and and you'll see the obnoxious, roudy, drunken, loud, and threatening adults being disgorged onto the streets in droves. I suspect you don't *encounter* them because, like most reasonable people [1], you avoid the pubs where such behaviour is common. But I can't believe you don't know it exists.
[1] see I can be nice to you ;-)John B
man after my own heart!
What is "the going rate" for beer in a pub now? £2.40 (Cornubia) or more? (e.g £3.00 for Stella in posey joints)
