It made me larf. As did yours.Originally posted by d000hg View PostIsn't the point of misquoting that you make it funny, and in some way related to the original, rather than just changing words?
By that token:

FTFYOriginally posted by d000hg View PostRestaurants are always opposite but recently we got a 4-table and sat side-by-side to make conversation easier with background noise, and were amused to find several other couples turned up and did the same. Bedwetting, that's me all over.

street cafe etiquette is to sit side by side to avoid one person having their back to the street, after all half the fun of having a coffee outside is people watching.Originally posted by GreenLabel View PostThe French like to do it this way also - side-by-side, sitting on the footpath drinking coffee. Always felt a bit odd to me.

You mean you like to play footsie.Originally posted by Sands of Time View PostI always favour sitting opposite sides of the table, however, 'side by side' seems to have appeared?
Is there an etiquette for this?
Opposite seems more 'English' where as side by side seems more US somehow.
Standards slipping?
Bing!
