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!"
