Obnoxious People in Restaurants

[giggirl]

Just returned from dinner at Green & Blue; badly missed over the last few months. A lovely evening but tarnished by the obnoxious LOUD LOUD LOUD people at one table. Consistently loud all evening, with the loudness punctuated by intermittent ear-splitting banshee-like wailing that passed for laughing. There?s just no need ? they would have heard each other sufficiently at just one quarter of the volume. Do people like this never notice that the people around them are rolling their eyes and covering their ears? It?s really anti-social.

Rant over. I feel better now. Bill me.

I would suggest eating in your own hosue or a monestry or similar rther than a public eatery where people are allowed to talk and laugh. HTH

It's just not cricket is it

Its G&B for heavens sake -dont mean to be patronising, what do you expect ?

[Cassius]

Maybe they were a bit over-excited about it re-opening.

[snorky]

Muts be quite a novely to dine there without turds swilling around your ankles

[Brendan]

Apparently they have moved them to a table.

how can you go from being so acute and witty to cynical and spiteful so quickly? And regardless of the how, why?

I was in G&B sat night for a quiet chat and had a great time and the staff were spot on as well

Giggirl - I know what you mean about G and B - HOWEVER, I really think the problem is exacerbated by the bare walls and hard surfaces etc - something Mr Wee Quinnie (sound engineer), never fails to draw to my attention whenever we are in there.

Its still a fab place - although the acoustics are the only bad thing about it, imho.

You can't get the ball to spin - there's not enough rough - and the boundary's too short. Spectator's bar is good tho'

This really puts me off a place. I tried the burger kitchen once when it first opened, and the sound just made me feel naucious... That and the fact it was a crap burger.

I remember being in eurodisney some years back and a loud mouthed, overbearing, upper middle class oaf thought how nice it would be for the whole dining area to listen to what he wanted and what his 3 quiet sprogs and downtrodden wife would be eating.

I found him so intrusive that I checked the next time we ate there, to make sure he wasn't eating and bellowing at the top of his voice.

I find them wearing and tiresome, and I thought it would be a good thing to carry a stun gun to temporarily silence such toffee nosed gits.

You have my sympathy Giggirl
