Have you ever walked out of a performance?

I have seen films and plays that I didn’t enjoy much, but have stayed to the end.

There is one exception. The play 'Avenue Q'. DH and I went to see it up the West End. It was full of swearing and even two puppets (the characters were puppets) having sex on stage. Others were thoroughly enjoying it apparently as they cheered and clapped. DH and I looked at one another and agreed to leave in the interval. We are broadminded but this just seemed sick.

Some time ago we went to see a "comedian", he was really bad and because no-one was laughing at his jokes he become desperate and started using crude jokes and swearing, resulting in some people even putting their fingers in their ears. We got up and walked out and several other couples followed us.

When we were first married we went to the cinema to see ‘The Canterbury Tales’ however we had misread the title and it was ‘The Other Canterbury Tales’ which turned about to be a soft porn version of the original. We left after about half an hour, noticing two of our neighbours in the audience.

We were quite an innocent pair then and if the film was shown now I suspect it would get a 15 rating ?
