So glad you posted this as I was on the verge of starting a thread of my own on the very subject.I was at the Game Fair at Ragley Hall over the weekend.There was so much going on , so much to see and do.The weather was really good too.Perfect for picnics , lots of space overlooking the lake( a safe distance away but still with good views) especially for anyone with small children ....and there they were.....a young couple with a toddler strapped in a pushchair with an ice cream and child a little older tormenting the child and looking generally fed up.The parents were seated on the grass either side of the pushchair , they had their backs to each other and their phones in their hands texting.I walked past them on my way to the Anglers Trust Section ( lots going on there for children) and 30 minutes later when I walked past them again they were still there, the one in the pushchair was asleep and the toddler trying his best to get his parents attention , pulling at his dad's sleeve , just to be pushed away and told to ' stop it' , whilst he carried on with whatever was ' so' important on his phone and his mum totally oblivious to anything except the phone in her handJust across the lake ( 5 minutes walk) there were allsorts of things happening that small children would have loved, Gun Dog demos in one ring , puppies being trained to walk to heel and fetch ( often very amusing ) puppies everywhere so see and pet.Just behind them there was a lovely open area with seats and a folk group were singing and other small children were dancing in front of them and generally having a good time.I so wanted to grab their phones and throw them in the water.....aaaarrghhh! ( feel a little better for having this little rant )
