In England, a café prohibits children under the age of five – and thus virtually all families – from entering. Now there is a lot of riot on social media.
Hanley / Stoke-on-Trent – "Sorry, no children under 5 years" – a sign in front of "Harley's Cafe and Coffee Bar" on Fountain Square in Hanley leaves no room for doubt: families are not welcome here. The reasoning of the owners is: "We have a ban on children because they run around making a mess and because we don't have the necessary toilets".

The admission restriction for British café owners initially "only" made headlines in the local media. But now a big battle is raging between parents who call for a boycott of the restaurant and annoyed childless people.
