On holiday in a 4* hotel in Corfu and meal times are like watching feeding time in a zoo. Am I old fashioned?

I dont think so.

My nephews been eating out since quite young and they're a pleasure to be with. Not least the eating but the waiting too before the meal arrives.

Some are animals. I don't think an all inclusive helps either.

I just grab a quiet table in corner for me! 🍽

Having been in the hospitality trade I have been amused and horrified at some diners table manners. Often the posher the restaurant and more expensive the meal, the worse the manners.

I think manners in general are sadly a thing of the past especially when you see the way some of the kids go on these days

No respect whatsoever which probably comes down to a lack of discipline from their parents

Kids bringing up Kids is half the problem

No, but it’s rude to stare! 😉

Years ago when Big Brother was a thing and semi-watchable, a housemate said casually, "Oh, I've never eaten at a table before..."

I don't think he was joking, and no-one thought this worthy of comment.

Me too! I also use a dessert fork rather than chase my pavlova around the plate with my finger.
