Come Dine With Me...

[gina32]

watching tonight's episode and notice yet again, the men are wearing hats or caps at the table, does anyone else think this is rude and disrespectful?

[aelmpvw]

rude and disrespectful, i would say yes ... they usually look very silly as well

[MallyJ]

Yep ....said the same yesterday......actually have noticed a huge number of chaps wearing hats indoors in loads of places.... I do want to have a word but rein in my impulse as I do when I want to pull up the trousers of young men who seem to think that buttocks encased in grubby undrpants are alluring..... sigh .... am now old!!

Depends where they're wearing the hat. Hanging a Trilby on your old fella so it dangles in a provocative manner in the vicinity of your fellow diner's food could be seen as rude and disrespectful I guess...

Yes I think it's rude. My grandad always wore a flat cap but as soon as he sat at the table my gradma would whip it off saying 'there's no tea served until that comes off'.

//My grandad always wore a flat cap//

i bet he had the good sense to wear it the right way round ...

[gingejbee]

It's a downmarket TV programme...does it matter?

[ummmm]

I don't think it's rude or disrespectful.

[Mamyalynne]

In a casual setting it wouldn't bother me, a smart eatery maybe it would be unseemly.

[ummmm]

These are fashion statement hats.

[jennyjoan]

I can't stand the peak cap worn the wrong round. It really wounds me up as I want to correct it.

[ummmm]

Lol divebuddy...I don't agree with that.

[ummmm]

I agree that effortlessly stylish is the best way.

Plain bad manners.

[Electrochem]

I hate it. Not only that, but those who roll sleeves up (if you want short sleeves, wear a short sleeved shirt), tie on, but top button undone, elbows on table when eating, inability to use a knife and fork correctly, men not knowing how to button a suit correctly, speaking with food in mouth. The list goes on.

could a Christmas carol be called a pantomime ?

[mallyh]

oops sorry wrong post x

[gina32]

bundleone, i totally agree
