Greetings, Paolo here
Having had a delightful meal out yesterday afternoon (Welsh beef and yorkshire pudding with all the trimmings if you're interested) I must say the experience was tarnished somewhat by two things. If you have read the title then I imagine you know what they are...
Using a mobile phone in any public place is the height of rudeness, never mind a restaurant. Can communication not be made discreetly with a message from one's valet? I recognise that the telegram is sadly no longer in fashion but surely if one receives a call then they should leave the table rather than subject the entire room to their nonsensical conversation. Let this be a warning to any fans who dare to bring in such gadgets to our shows...
As for children, well the modern breed are not all 'sweetness and light'. There is a lack of manners everywhere but this is inexcusable at the dinner table. One girl was bought a pudding despite not eating her dinner. Another was free to roam around and distract other diners with various hummings and spinning actions. I have heard tales of children being provided with what I believe are called portable DVD players to keep them quiet in restaurants. No wonder our nation has gone to the dogs.
