Makes sense ...... If the girl was 10 . lol

They refused the requests of management to move to another table.

Sorry. No sympathy.

Something else happened here. Maybe these two had out of town accents from a Scottish area that is not liked by the majority there. Or the older couple just happened to be long time customers. Big over-reaction, and an easy way to lose new customers. Maybe Barack and the ‘gang’ can stop by this place during their second or third post spring break vacations. Somebody might even get to kiss the Blarney Stone.

NO DOGS SHOT so I am OK with this

Don’t they have any shoot worthy dogs in Scotland?

[a fool in paradise]

If it’d been two men kissing, there would have been no arrest or order to “knock it off” or even “move”.

Pigs.

To use a term invented by an English civil servant.

"A Brewers Fayre spokesman said: 'Having spoken to our team members at the Crooked Glen, we are satisfied that staff acted appropriately in this instance. 'On the day in question two customers sat down, uninvited, at a table where another couple were already dining. 'Having interrupted the couple's meal, they then began behaving in a way that other diners found excessive and inappropriate. 'Following complaints to staff, they were asked to move to another table, which they refused to do. 'They then started using abusive language towards other diners and staff, at which point the police were called. The incident was dealt with at the scene and no further action was needed."

The restaurant's side of the story puts a different slant on the incident and why the police were called.

[I want the USA back]

The cops came because the restaurant owner called them. The owner had the right to ask them to move to another table, and the guests had the right to refuse. The owner did not have the right to call the cops over this.

The cops should have had enough sense to dismiss the whole affair.

A bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck will get you bundled in the patty wagon.

I suspect there was more to it than this. The Chuck-e-Cheese family restaurants in the US frequently get brawling parents and police calls.

[a fool in paradise]

Scotland Yard ain’t what it once was.

The trouble started after the Dunfermline couple went to The Crooked Glen restaurant at Fife Leisure Park in the town for a family meal with Miss Potter’s five-year-old son, Charlie, last month.

Miss Potter, 40, said they left Charlie in the soft play area and as the restaurant was busy, asked if they could share a large table nearby occupied by a lone man so they could keep an eye on the boy. When the man was joined by his wife, Mr Mullen noticed that she ‘wasn’t happy’ to find she was now sharing her table.

And now comes the truth of the matter....
