Never use sarcasm on the under threes
Jun. 7th, 2005 04:20 pmScene: Mildly smart restaurant in Borough on Saturday afternoon, reasonably full
Small (fairly loudly, but not actually shouting) "Daddy has gone to the toilet."
Grandpa (somewhat out of practice in dealing with smalls) "Why don't you just stand on your chair and tell the whole restaurant."
.....
The other highlight of the day was a trip on Damian Hirst's Tate to Tate "Spotty Boat" - huge, very smooth, and ludicrously overspecced for the length of journey it does - well worth a go if you're doing a sightseeing trip (eg with visitors) and want to do something on the river without doing a fully fledged sightseeing thing.
The Millbank pier was practically deserted on a non-rainy June Saturday, and would make a rather fine picnic venue (you pay on the boat, so there's no restriction on who can use the pier).
