Who cares! As long as it's effective, I'm fine with whatever is used. Far better than having screaming kids ruin a meal imo! Plenty of adults spend time texting or gaming too.

As a follow up to this.......
Me - Can we (Mrs Colch and myself) borrow £250k towards a house?
Mortgage Advisor - Nope, Mrs Colch has failed the credit score.
Me - OK, can I borrow £250k towards a house?
MA - Yep, no problem.
So on my single income and credit rating I can borrow £250k to buy a house, but on a dual income that is quite a bit higher we can't borrow £250k to buy a house because Mrs Colch fails the credit check.

Maybe I need to amend previous post to add....as long as headphones are used for noisy stuff.
Did it put you off your spicy pork?

Biffy Clyro - my favourite band, seen them at a variety of venues over the years. Nowadays though they're just doing O2 arena, tickets are £70 and the presale just sold out within about 4 minutes. I think they might have outgrown my support, sadly.

Kitchen is full of door colour samples while the her-indoors fails to choose a colour.

The smoke alarm going off in the hotel this morning because someone put a croissant in the toaster despite the clear notices saying not to and they staff would warm them if required. ?

Turns out it was just a temporary glitch and we managed to get the tickets. I still preferred it when they were playing places like the Academy for 30 quid a pop though... O2 is quite rubbish a soulless. And a pig to get home from. And the beers are like 8 pound.Biffy Clyro - my favourite band, seen them at a variety of venues over the years.

The O2 in London? Yes I thought the same when I went a few months ago, that tube ride is terrifying like some sort of rickety 60s roller coaster ?

Yeah in North Greenwich. I think it's too big and the sound usually isn't great. I dislike it but when bands reach a certain level that's seemingly where they always go for their London gigs. I'd prefer Wembley Arena.

Sadly I give up on seeing bands live (outside of festivals and I quite like the Milton Keynes Bowl) once they get to that stadium level. I just do not get the same enjoyment out of going to massive venues. Luckly I still have quite a few to see that still play places like the local O2 venues, Rock City or if I fancy a weekend away, the Brighton Dome

Agree. I do it less often, or for bands I've not seen before or for a long time. My other favourite bands that I see frequently have remained small enough to play at more intimate venues, luckily.

Don't think the sound in the Arena is much better (although better than it used to be) - neither option is a walk in the park in terms of travel to & from.
The old days of bands doing 8 nights at Hammersmith Odeon are long gone unfortunately - it's now 1 or 2 nights at enormodomes instead

On a personal note since I live in Watford it's a breeze to get into Wembley compared to Greenwich, ha. But as a general rule of course, the smaller the venue the better.
Actually the worst venue I've ever been to was the London Stadium. Just a total waste of time. If you've got seats you can neither see nor hear the band due to the sheer distance away, and you have to go up and down two flights of steps to use the toilet or get a drink each time.
