We try to go on holiday to fun exciting places that don’t attract whining old types that go through life tutting at others. 🙂
And I trust that you enjoy doing that, and that you do so for many holidays to come. From where I’m sitting, it seems that the intolerance goes both ways, and I think that there will always be the lack of common ground between those on either side of the debate. My partner and I choose to holiday in an environment without children. We do this because we enjoy it, and it has the added bonus that we dont spend our precious holiday time getting stressed by some of what goes on in those ‘fun exciting places’ In the eyes of some, this might be regarded as intolerance. I prefer to regard it as ‘doing your own thing’ as everyone should have the right to do, so long as does not impinge too much on the rights of others. I worked in civil aviation for 25 years, which gave me the privilege of travelling to some very nice places, yes even some fun and exciting ones:) On very many occasions, the flights had their fair number of ‘discontented’ children, for years I accepted that as an integral part of the journey, also as I was usually travelling for around 10% of the full fare, or sometimes for free, I felt that I really had no cause for complaint. We have some brilliant memories of some of those trips, but on the whole we don’t miss them, so now we just ‘do our own thing’ and that’s just as much fun:)
