Terrace terrors

Should you be sunning yourself on a terrace in Flanders in the coming weeks and happen to notice a poster advertising “De 10 geboden van de welgemanierde terrasbezoeker”, it’s all to do with a new (tongue in cheek) campaign by sector representative Horeca Vlaanderen and radio show Peeters & Pichal to teach the public how to use café terraces with respect for others.

Here are the so-called Ten Commandments of the Wellmannered Terrace Client:

1 Leave tables and chairs where they are
2 Keep the volume down when talking
3 Waiter! Customer! Treat everyone with respect
4 Park your baby-buggy properly
5 Keep your dog on a leash
6 Pay your bill together, not separately
7 Try not to steal our glasses
8 Order together and pay the correct amount
9 Don’t rev up your engine outside; and most
importantly
10 Hold your vomit until you get home
