What is our part of the world coming to?

A stand-up fight in a Toby Carvery restaurant on Father’s Day is a position nobody wants to be in.

It is a sad state of affairs when this happens on any day of the year, let alone one on which you can guarantee young families will be on hand to watch.

We can only hope this was an isolated incident which will never be repeated – but for many, the damage is done, whether that’s being customers who witnessed the incident deciding never to return or young children having to witness a stand-up row between adults.

This is not what we expect in our homes towns. This sort of behaviour is not and should not be tolerated here and the sooner people understand that, the better.
