I would have thought, that the phrasing of my post, would have made is quite clear, that it was a joke.
"I think eating in the street is common."
Do you think that someone putting forth a serious opinion that something is common, puts the 'action' into the middle of it? Do you? Really?
And the follow up post of mine "No. They're not walking down the street. they are dining al fresco. erm. sort of. does outside area of a cafe count as al fresco or does it have to be picnic in the park?
Not so many years ago, it actually was, seriously now, considered common to eat in the street. Seen to be very bad manners indeed.
Now it's a symptom of life on the run."
No in reply to the question is an outdoor cafe the same as walking down the street.
The words SERIOUSLY NOW, when talking how eating in the street used to be seen
And ending with an opinion on why things have changed.
So stick it up your arse.
