Tables for one - the rise of solo dining

[Cotty]

Interesting, seems like more and more people are choosing to eat out on their own and resturants love it.

Only awkward bit is waiting for your food to arrive. I am sure that is why Angry Birds was invented as before it was quite difficult staring into space without looking like a loony. As soon as you looked around you would invariably make eye contact with someone who looked at you as if you were about to steal food off their plate.

Before I got a kindle, when I was away on business I found a book is fine to read while waiting for your food.

Tried the takeaway at the hotel once, late arrival and the Holiday Inn Express always have a few local takeaway menus yet it all arrives in a bag, have to scrounge cutlery or stuck with a cracked plastic spoon, then you have that small table in the room and an oily meal and the mess and ..... never again.

Order a Chinese and ask them to chuck in some chopsticks, most provide wooden disposable versions or buy yourself a spork to leave in your suitcase.
