This Xmas , I have decide to take the kids to Disney land Paris , have been postponed for so many years that my older is now almost 18. Book euro tunnel , hotel and park, and all have a adult( kid )
At different ages, so I was finding my self clicking on the question mark at the side of the boxes where we have to put the children ages. To find is my 17 still a child or an adult....This is ridiculous

Why is it disgusting? Why not blame the local authority for not providing transport?

The bus company is a private organisation.

In order to give subsidies to children going to school, they would either have to get money from the local authority to support this or increase all the other fares to make ends meet.

Children need to get to school - surely that is an expense the parents are responsible for?

You don't get ought for nought!

My eldest two children go to school's in different authorities as we live on a county border. For one son (age 15), its costs £1.10 a day and he can do unlimited journeys. The other son (age 13) has to pay £5.50 return. Needless to say they don't get the bus, so there is another car on the road during rush hour.

I didn't say I thought it was right, just that that is the reason.

I must admit that it doesn't really bother me, right or wrong. After all, I benefited from the custom when I was a child.

So the rest of us that do earn money are supposed to subsidise other peoples' children when they go on holiday?

Our local 'buffet' restaurant charges children by their height! This meant my tall 10year old grandson paid more than his smaller, but older, cousin!

Nope. Just playing devil's advocate for the sake of the debate.

First Choice All Inclusive from 12, but my daughter who was 14 at the time was refused to do Archery as it was an adult activity (even though she would have been supervised)

All airlines
All "kids eat free" restaurants
All theme parks (both sides of Atlantic)
All Public Transport companies
All Justice authorities (Police, courts etc)
All civil/Health support agencies (Healthcare, Social workers, Benefits etc)
All Gambling houses (specially online... thank goodness for Vegas where you have to be 21 to be on the gaming floor)
In fact, where money is concerned... it seems that every commercial & public body would like to believe an Adult is born at the time of birth.

Thomson cruises, let's you select 17 as a child's age but when you go to book 17 is classed as an adult
