My father eats too fast. I hate it when people are talking to me when I'm eating. My mother loves eating her meal in front of the TV while the ''3'' well known soaps are on.
What about you??
S.
Just like you, I hate people interfering when I'm eating. Food is far too good for anything to intrude
My father was a moody bugger sometimes. One thing he hated was us chatting at mealtimes. When we were having Sunday dinner, it was silence all round. Inevitably one of us children would get a fit of the giggles and be sent into the garden, from where we'd make faces at our sisters/brothers, until eventually we'd all be outside.

Clearly an effecting parental strategem for getting a bit of peace and quiet!
Since there are only two of us in our family and dinner is always ready when I walk in the door it's plate/tray on ma knee whilst I hear all about her busy day housekeeping/walking the dog/building jigsaws, all eating done so I can watch the news with a cuppa.
