We say thank goodness certain pubs and restaurants do object to helping out with baby food preparation on health-and-safety grounds.
Eating establishments have to be very careful as, should anything go wrong, the contemporary reaction appears to be to reach for the litigation stick.
It is a pity Mrs Durant is not able to use a bit of the lost art of common sense.
If an establishment does not offer baby food on the menu, then why should she expect to take in food that has been purchased elsewhere, and expect co-operation from the management to prepare it?
It is very common to see a notice in an establishment saying "Only food purchased on the premises may be eaten".
How does she think mothers managed in the past? As youngsters, both of us were taken shopping on the bus by our parents to Hudders-field, Halifax, Leeds, Bradford, Oldham, Manchester, Barnsley and we were fed somehow, having survived healthily into our late 60s.
Like a number of the younger generation, Mrs Durant obviously expects the world to change just to suit them and uses the tactic of going to the newspaper to try to make management feel guilty.
Mrs Durant also calls for a change in legislation as if, as a nation, we are currently not bogged down and suffocated enough by the sheer volume currently bestowed on us from Westminster.
We say to Mrs Durant, next time you go on a trip, expect the unexpected, and, based on this experience, go prepared as you will not always get your own way.
