On the way back fro Hull yesterday we called into a cafe in Howden for breakfast.
We walked to a table and it was apparent that a lady was feeding her baby. She was being discreet the baby was content and she was relaxing and having coffee. A perfectly natural activity to the benefit of both mother and child - a very comfortable scene. I have no objection to 'doing what comes naturally and feel that the conductor over reacted or had issues with the feeding of a baby in public themselves

apparently according to the nursing mother,
the conductor put his hand up to his face so that he should not see the offending organ....
doesnt sound like the average tranmere rovers' supporter to me, innit ?
however he could be a historian - Was it Raleigh or Essex who put his hand up to his face when addressing Gloriana, as her face was too dazzling ?

For the purposes of the Equality Act, any place where a service is provided to the public is a public place. That includes railways and restaurants. A private club might, and I stress the word might, be able to get away with a denial of service or asking a woman who is breast-feeding to leave, but I doubt it. It is against the law for a club, which admits women as members, to refuse them service or discriminate against them on grounds of their sex. Can't see this being treated as an excuse for excluding visiting women who are breast-feeding.
