It's intrusive, it's fully widescreen. It's bloody annoying. It doesn't happen at The Upland road place, or any other 'construction worker' cafe I've been too. The only thing I ever see is The Star or The Mirror or even the HateMail. And TV whilst eating is naff, tho I agree that some subject are best not discussed. Oh and lastly, please squeeze that tedious/odious/chippy/ Lousia back into the can, we almost liked the revised version post referendum. The old one's gone off, out of date, beyond ironic, boring. Thanks.
