Met some friends who we haven't seen for a while for dinner - it was a place we had never been before, and will never go there again. The food and meal were both fairly basic, but with concrete floors and stone walls the noise factor was hideous - especially as there was a table of 6 very loud women that made it impossible to hear what our friends were saying ... it was such a relief to get out of there and back home to peace and quiet! Am I just getting too old to tolerate loud noises now???
