You know the one where at the end of the call they tell you that you have been specially selected for a promotion and get 500 points (which never arrive) just for listening to it?

Regarding the children, I think an outright ban is not the way as there are many children out there who are perfectly capable of behaving themselves in these sort of environments.
However if some are allowing packs of children to run a mock in the executive lounge then a quiet word with a manager should be enough to have them asked to leave.

Take pictures of the dodgyness in the room and write a complaint to corporate when you get back, I'm sure they will give you some sort of gesture of apology.

Then just avoid that place in future!
