Or is it just that they don't

I have run a children's club for many years and just before Christmas we decided to take the children to the local fire station as they had asked If we could. Our local station does tours for children's groups.

Myself and one fellow leader were waiting outside the fire station for one child's mother to pick them up. The fire station is opposite a night club which doesn't open until 10pm and this was 7.45pm

A woman walks up to us and says "Are you waiting to take her in there?" Pointing at the nightclub. The child was 7. What did she think we would be doing???

Perhaps the nightclub runs children’s disco parties?

Not this one. I did wonder though. This one is over 21 always and runs some over 25 only nights.
