Change the 9pm curfew for 16-17 year olds in Weatherspoons

The Issue

Wetherspoons have a 9pm curfew for under 18's meaning a 17 year old out with their 18 year old friends has to leave at 9pm whilst their friends can stay until 12pm/1am. This doesn't seem fair.

This is the statement on their website "Families are welcome to dine in the majority of our pubs; however, permitted hours for customers aged under 18 years may vary from pub to pub. During these permitted hours, 16- and 17-year-olds (with the exception of some pubs in Scotland) are welcome to visit, without adult supervision, for food and soft drinks only.

I would like to see a graduated curfew meaning under 16's have to leave at 9pm with 16 and 17 year olds leaving before 11pm/midnight.
