Never again

I went out last night with my children for a belated birthday celebration.

We went to a small local Italian restaurant, we didn't stop.

Unfortunately the local under 11's football team had booked at the same time. Three long tables, two containing the small boys and one containing the parents. The noise was indescribable, the boys running riot and being ignored by their parents. 

We were the only table not occupied by the footballers. 

After 10 minutes we left, there was no pleasure in being pushed, shoved or deafened.

Oh no, we'd have left too. Think the restaurant should have treated it as a private party and closed to other customers, particularly if it was a small place.

We've had the same experience. The parents drink and chat away and are TOTALLY oblivious. I hope you told the owner/ manager when you left.

Sad story.

Stew

Y'days lamb was delicious and there is lots left. So today I'm making a stew, I'll use half of the left over lamb and add onion ...
