R.I.P Le Chandelier

Of course there's nothing wrong with eating food on public transport- how utterly ridiculous and petty to think otherwise!

Trains serve hot food to eat at your seat. Often hot food with distinctive odours.

Do the people moaning about food on the bus moan at the train companies for doing so?

[Jeremy]

Absolutely nothing wrong with eating on the train or bus. If it's particularly smelly or messy, or they leave rubbish lying around, then that's one thing. Otherwise... mind your own!

Some people are not aware of what they look like when they are eating...

Obama looks cool, no matter what he's doing

I'm hoping he'll go on to be the Global Ambassador for eating in public

[edcam]

Shall we do the one about women doing their make-up on public transport again? That did really well last time. Maybe we could do one about doing your make-up while eating a baguette.

[earlydoors]

and listening to noisy music on your headphones.

[earlydoors]

...and picking your nose.

And leave your buggy blocking the bus doors just for good measure.

Personally I wouldn't have complained about Le Chandelier if it wasn't implied by the OP that it was closing - I was reminiscing on my brief encounter there 5 years ago and I guess in restaurant terms you are allowed to speak ill of the dead. I didn't complain at the time, I have a fair few poor experiences locally (and good ones too) but tend not to criticise local businesses if they are trying to succeed.

Breastfeeding in public, be it bus of cafe.

DISGUSTING!!!

It's not disgusting.....It's natural. BUT many women make a big issue of it...

Breastfeeding sitting up at the bar or prominate place....

...Much to say.. "Oh, look our Progessive am I"... I'm brestfeeding my baybee in public."

I think Otta was not serious, Foxy.

But really Fox, who are these "many women" who "make a big issue of it"?

I've never seen any. I've just seen a few mothers feeding their babies in relative privacy. They're hardly going out to "prominent (sic)" places specially to get their tits out to make a point. As it were.

[Seabag]

You are an odd odd one Fox

People do go out, but not always for the reasons you might have in the past, with your attention seeking dances or card tricks. There seems to be a distorted thread of projected narcissism to your posts, not always tho often enough

"Look at me" or the imagined requirement to be 'looked at' in a new cafe, restaurant or bar. Or just somewhere in general.

Whereas you profess to go out 'to socialise' while others seem have alterior motives, in your mind anyway. Which is odd, as most just like to be out for the sake of a change, to hang out with friends or even on their own

Why project onto those people some kind of Ill perceived attention seeking behaviours?

And I've made an effort to not dig you out of late, but this thing you do is slightly strange

[DulwichFox]

I was aware Otta was not being serious but thought I would elaberate on the subject...

Probably going back a few years when many of my friends were of child bearing age...

Seabag.. attention seeking dances or card tricks ???

FFS I was a Morris Dancer... I was an Entertainer .. I get asked to do card tricks...

Some people here sing... and Entertain people... Some people play in a band..

They all like the attention.. What entertainer doesn't ?

Foxy

[earlydoors]

He is a narcissist of that there can be no doubt.....

...but women breast feeding in public is a bit attention seeking in some way that I'm not sure how to describe.

Seems unecessary....the kid can wait until it gets somewhere a bit more private before its fed.

[DulwichFox]

The word Narcissist in itself is one used by people here wishing to show that they know long words....

Some people need to look up what the word actually means...

You can only really apply the word to someone you know fairly well. You cannot apply it to someone you have neveer met.

The only Mirror in my house is in my bathroom. and I do not have a pond in my garden..

Do you have children, earlydoors?

And people go out to dinner or for coffee as some kind of performance ?

They go to places to act out what exactly, or are they going out as a dress rehearsal for when a new 'stage' opens for them to shine upon. Or even God forbid, actually just go out to enjoy the company of others, in a bar, restaurant or cafe

No, it's not irrelevant (sic).

If you had children you would know that a hungry child of breastfeeding age (and for quite a bit after, actually) needs to be fed, and not "wait till it gets somewhere a bit more private".

Unless you're one of those people who thinks you need to train a child from birth to eat (including drinking breast milk) only at times convenient to you, irrespective of the distress caused to the child as a result?

[earlydoors]

what with you and you're baguette munching and mums with their tits out feeding their sprogs i think I may start walking instead of getting a bus.

[P.O.U.S.theWonderCat]

[grammartede]"your" not "you're"[/grammartede]

Excellent idea Earlydoors. Could you avoid pubs and restaurants as well please?

[Jeremy]

Breast feeding in public is "unnecessary"? "The kid can wait until it gets somewhere a bit more private"? And the fact that you have no personal experience of raising children is "irrelevant"?

Truly one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

Are you actually "grok"?

I wondered that as well.

A couple of weeks after registering and a load of aggressive, trolly and personal posts.

ETA: And strange that Grok isn't posting on this thread, though s/he is commenting on it in the lounge.

Here here.

Moaners have no idea about people's personal situations or reasons for eating on public transport - do you know that that person doesn't have to eat at a specific time for medical reasons? That they've not spent all day dealing with a sick loved one and the journey home is the first chance they've had to grab a bite to eat? No, you have no freaking idea what is going on with anyone so how dare people judge other people for getting on with their lives and satisfying a basic human need.
