A PUB IN the UK has called a sign offering to nail children to a table a ‘bit of fun’.

The sign, at the Black Lion pub in Leighton Buzzard reads:

The pub’s proprietor has explained to the BBC that the establishment isn’t anti-children and that the sign wasn’t intended to offend; they merely want to maintain traditional values and avoid children “running around screaming”.
