Thank you... but it just got worse:

"In addition, the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, as amended by the Sex 
Discrimination (Amendment of Legislation) Regulations 2008, prohibits 
discrimination on grounds of pregnancy or maternity in the fields of 
goods, facilities or services, and premises. For example, if a mother 
who was breastfeeding her baby in a cafe was asked to leave, she could 
bring a claim of direct sex discrimination against the proprietor, 
providing her baby is not older than 6 months."

So, if you are booted out of a cafe with a five month old, you have to 
SUE the cafe under the Sex Discrimination Act.  After all, the cafe 
owner has conveniently written down their reasons for booting you out as 
they escorted you to the door.

Better make sure Mums take birth certificates out with them... as babies 
are clearly going to need to be 'carded' at the door so they can prove 
they are young enough to have a drink.
