UK Restaurant Catches Up With Years-Old American Idea

In a breaking news story, icteeside reports that a new restaurant has opened in the UK which provides a quirky atmosphere and activities at the table for diners to enjoy.

Sara Horsman, 29, and Sean Wilkinson, 33, have decided to pool their talents to open Attitude.

Customers are encouraged to write on the table clothes - which are made of brown paper and feature games such as noughts and crosses, word searches and sudoku and there are containers with crayons on each table.

Wow ... drawing on the tablecloths? Who would have ever thought of that? Macaroni Grill is who I'm thinking of. Decades ago.

Quirky decor? Oh let's get reall and call it what it really is: crap on the walls. I believe every average sized city in the U.S. has one of these restaurants. It's called Chilis.

Well, so sorry Sara and Sean. America perfected that restaurant model decades ago. Glad the idea of crap has finally made it across the Atlantic.
