Where would you sit?

On holiday in hotel, tables of eight for a Christmas Day meal with people you don't know. First to the table, would you sit at the end or in the middle? Next to your partner or opposite? Decisions, decisions, happened to us Christmas Day!

Re: Where would you sit?

Nearest to the exit.
I wouldn't sit at a table full of strangers.

Re: Where would you sit?

The table nearest the bar...every time

Re: Where would you sit?

I was lucky.....my ex drove me to drink......distance to the bar was no problem.

Re: Where would you sit?

When I read that drinking was bad for me I gave up ..reading...BOOM BOOM!

'TAXI'!

Sometimes you don't expect to be sitting with folk you don't know but on this occasion for a gala evening this is how the restaurant was set out. For us it worked out ok because we met some lovely people but it could have been a disaster!

Re: Where would you sit?

Thats my fear, sitting next to a know all gobby git........I dont like competition

if you get decent company then great but if not it can be a nightmare.

Re: Where would you sit?

I'm glad it worked well for you.
I would sit in the middle & hope I got a nice single man sitting next to me.

Re: Where would you sit?

Ha, well said Tiffany, I didn't think of that!

Re: Where would you sit?

If it were me, l would prefer to be facing the person l was with. I have found if you sit at the end of the table, you aren't so much in the throng of the conversation! Sometimes this is good but other times not so good! It depends on the company!!
