Thing is if i go tom the police i could end up in bother myself becuase i lied on my first statement.

Dosent bother me if i never go in the place agian.

Im not made of money, and apparently the wife just told me that amy says she did it.

Well if she did im entering her for the scool shot putt competition

Even so, im willing to pay the £60 estimate i got less £30 she owes me. So its £30 quid and i will never use the pub again

Well if she did it and your gonna pay make sure you pay it infront of the regulars making the landlord feel bad about it, also make sure the regulars hear you say this to cover the cost of the glass that you say my daughter broke

Yeah, but the fence is bigger than she is so how she did its another matter. And theat 7 year old looked very sheepish afterwards. I wanted to have a word with him but the wife wouldnt let me. Ive spoke to his parents though.

And me

I dont weant to be next one in hospital

I'd pay someone I knew to fix it so the landlord didn't make out of it & not go there again, then break another window late one night in a few weeks time just to annoy him. Childish yes, but it'll feel good

Stoke sounds lovely. For some reason my dad wants to move from Sandbach area to Stoke/Fenton/Longport area. He's nuts :eek:

he has no proof, and im my experience of 4 year olds whenever they throw anything they always seem to let go too late and it heads straight down.

You need to go and sit your daughter on your knee and ask her what happened, tell her you want the truth and ask her if this 7 year old told her to admit to it.

If she still says she did it then buy the glass yourself and arrange delivery to the pub. Make sure you have a receipt.

If she didnt do it then go to the landlord, tell him your not paying as your daughter says she didnt do it or that the other lad did it.

If the police get involved then you tell them the reason you lied was because of what they did to this suspected burglar!

Seconded, pay it any don't bother going there anymore.

MeatLoaf · 3 Sep 2006 at 18:27

Shs adamant that she did it.

God knows what im going to do if he comes up with a stupid figure for the window replacement. My wife says im stressing to much and that it will work out ok. I think she thinks money grows on trees.

A2Z · 3 Sep 2006 at 18:28

you say she said she did it, but have you sat down with her and told her to tell you the truth, and that whatever she says you wont be angry, and looked at her in the eyes, surely you can tell if shes lying or not?

if shes not then ofcourse you gota pay up, if not, i wouldnt

You get someone to fix it independently

I know it very well and I used to gig there a lot in the 80's.
It didn't used to be rough.
Since your daughter has 'admitted' it then I'd pay up.

Well then you can either pay or lie.

You need to phone the landlord and speak about it. Tell him you want to buy the glass yourself as you can save money going through a friend. Ask him for the dimensions and start shopping around. Get the glass delivered to him.

Do not let him buy the glass and then pay for it!

Unless you can get to the bottom of it and find out whether it really was your daughter or the 7 year old, it looks as if you will have to foot the bill.

On the insurance thing, although I have no experience, I can imagine that an insurer would refuse to cover broken windows in a pub.

Mate if your daughter is admitting it is her... somehow it must be. You never said that in your OP. Pay the landlord. 60 quid isn't a great deal and you'll only need to hand over 30.

MeatLoaf · 3 Sep 2006 at 18:39

Hes said he dosenmt mind me getting quotes for glass, he knows a guy who can fit it so all he wants is the glass. Looks like its going to cost me tho. Ah well, goodbye conroe, hello pub window
