Quite an interesting afternoon tea

Oops!

Best of luck kitty ???

That's the type of thing that would happen to me, you a will never forget it? but it could have been worse it could have happened before you ate or it could have ended up in your laps.

Embarrassing!
Is it the day for cream teas today? Lots of people eating them in the open air café on the seafront.

Oh no what an end to a lovely afternoon. I hope they gave you some more nice treats to take home

Yes I was so lucky as all the sugar (bit weird) ended up in my chair

Afternoon calamitea.
Glad you’d enjoyed it all before the table folded.

You will remember that long after the tea has faded.

Oh dear but at least you had a lovely afternoon and the staff were kind. Probably one you won’t forget in a hurry though!

I would have probably have gone into heart failure!

Hope they gave you a voucher for another tea on a very stable table!

At least you got the leftovers before the disaster happened! Obviously they have very flimsy furniture.

It must have been the day for accidental demolitions! I went to a garden centre this afternoon to buy some seed potatoes. They had a large tiered stand with a different variety of potato on each tier. I picked up one bag of Charlotte's off the 2nd tier and the whole stand collapsed! There must have been around 200 bags of seed potatoes in a heap on the floor. The sound of crashing shelves brought everyone to a standstill. And I still don't know how I could have avoided causing such carnage!

This thread has made my day ???

Chewbacca you were very fortunate not to be injured.

That is something I would do I am so heavy handed like a bull in a China shop everywhere I go. At least you and your daughter enjoyed your chat and time together.

Whoops. Sounds a lovely afternoon

Oh no! I bet they will be checking all their tables for stability or weaknesses! At least it was while you are on your way out.

We once were on vacation at an all inclusive resort; there was a fancy New Year's dinner out under white tents. During the day it had rained, so there was some pooled water in the canvas. I think you can guess what happened. A big gust of wind, and a huge sploosh of water landed on top on my head! Soaked to the skin. Everyone gasped. Luckily we laughed it off, asked the waiters to save us a good seat and went back to change and re-do hair and makeup.

Sorry!

Hope you weren't hurt, Whitewave

Nor you, Chewbacca

Goodness WWmk2 you did have a smashing time! Oh heck. I’d not have known where to look! It reminds me of that old tv programme ‘Candid Camera’ that I used to love. Bet everyone round you got up very carefully from their tables after you’d left.

Reminds me: years back I was in our local supermarket and accidentally knocked a couple of tins of tuna onto the floor. Picked them up and put them back.There was nobody around.
Suddently, a voice boomed over the loudspeaker "Mrs. S... is kindly requested to NOT destroy the whole supermarket!" I was mortified for a moment then realised the voice belonged to the manager - an ex-student of mine having a bit of fun!

In the Cotswolds this week I watched a young, male Japanese tourist eating a cream tea by lying the uncut scone on its edge and half heartedly dabbing on smears of cream. Maybe a little diagram should be handed out to non natives. He did look bemused.

I was in a branch of John Lewis years ago when an unfortunate customer was somehow responsible for the collapse of several glass display shelves.

Must have been a weekend of accidents. I was in M&S cafe on Saturday and a poor lady carrying pots of tea and cakes stumbled over another ladies handbag she had left next to her chair in the isle. The following silence was deafening, the staff were excellent though. Cleared it all up and replaced very efficiently.

I'm sorry but it has made my giggle. I'd probably ly babe done it when fully laden and with scalding hot tea!!!

However it shouldn't have done that - I hope the club has learned a lesson that either their table(s) are not fit for purpose or that it hadn't been properly secured.
