GN.Me and the Mrs have been invited out for a meal at the weekend.
TN. The other 2 couples are teachers. OMG!!!

look on the bright side, you might learn something

If they are maths teachers they will come in handy at working out who pays what when you get the bill

No Mrs O, they will refuse to do it for Melv, but will insist on seeing his workings.

I do hate people who haggle over the bill ...

haggling is OK. it when they say I am not gonna pay for that someone else can !

I remember going out for a meal with 4 other couples. One couple decided that they didn't want anything. As the courses were served they picked at everyone else's meals. When the meals were finished, they got up and left the restaurant without offering to pay. Needless to say, they didn't get invited out again.

If either of the teachers (no, the men) has a beard, feign illness and leave.

The numbers keep adding up!

You'll be fine, Melv.......unless two OFSTED inspectors join the party....but even then they will sit at the back of the restaurant with sour faces and clip boards wondering whether or not to put your table manners into special measures......☺

Melv, what's your profession? They might be as scared as you are :-)
