Jen D said:I have two, both from the same night at Victoria & Alberts-- my husband and I went last September for our 10th Anniversary.
We were seated under the dome-- that weird area where due to some acoustic abnormality you can hear even quiet conversations at a table across the dome clear as day-- as if the people were at the table too. And I'm sure they could hear us. If the harp is playing it isn't bad but when the harpist is taking a break you can hear everything.
Two choice exchanges-- from one table, across the way, with a young attractive couple
1) Man to woman: "Will you relax? You can have your joint after dinner!"
2) And after the bills had been delivered to all the tables, a man and a woman, the man in a northern English accent: "What do you mean expense it? We can't ****ing expense it darling! We had all this ****ing caviar and this ****ing champage! It's seven or eight hundred dollars! We can't ****ing expense it!"
We were there for our 30th Anniversary a few years ago. Heard every word from the table across the room. Man was talkinf to Date/Wife? about "Cousin Brucie" We knew all about "Cousin Brucie's investments, vacations, homes and probably more things about "Cousin Brucie" than we or even the lady probably ever wanted or needed to know.

Wonder if they heard our comments about the room acoustics. If they did, it sure didn't stop him from talking.
