But there is 6 middle aged women people being very loud and obnoxious as they are taking up 2 tables and having a conversation across the 2 tables. While they don't think they were antisocial, the passive aggressive glares from the people in my vicinity said otherwise.

We've all been annoyed by screechy hen parties, drunken schoolboys, cranky old men, at-the-top-of-their-voices Africans, sarcastic eastern Europeans, braying English, multifamilial Travellers, obnoxious Americans, upper-class twats, etc, etc. Earphones and a good film or the radio on the computer/tablet/phone is the answer.

It doesn't matter if you're on a train, in a cafe, restaurant or at the cinema or theatre, or even in a bookshop. There's always a loudmouth, or moron on a mobile phone, projecting his /her inadequacy into the space of others. On the flip side, not enough Irish people have the character or guts to challenge boors. So good on you for getting your spake in.

Is there a haircut as well for the non posh ones as I'd hate to land myself in the wrong social bracket.
