Me, ds (16) and sister were in a lovely restaurant/bar on Saturday. Lovely weekend in London together. We'd eaten our meal and I looked over and noticed that the people sitting on nearby table had gone. It (I assume) was someone's birthday as they'd sung Happy Birthday (well I assume they did, the band playing at the time were a bit loud!) and they'd had a cake. Well. There was some slices of cake left. On the plate with the knife that had cut the cake. ie not 'someone's plate' and I said I'm having some of that. Sister and Ds were absolutely appalled at the idea. But I went and got a little slice. It was lovely. Just a little supermarket cake but still very tasty!! They could not believe it. And it is still being mentioned!! Their problems were someone might have seen - it was quite quiet by then. I said 'you didn't see that!’ to next table - they weren't phased don't think they saw me till I spoke. Secondly that I took it off someone else's table. My view was they cut the cake. Left on the cutting up plate or like a platter. Similar to if it was in a buffet. No problem at all. But they would not see it!!
I said. Well I'm going to ask Mumsnet then - but only just had time to post.
WIBU?? It was cake!!!!!
