I used the words 'low life' instead of 'riff raff'.
The only difference between my attitude and hers was that she was angry and cared that Accy was deteriotating - I don't - I think the low life need amusing just as much as the opera fans
. (which I'm not one of, but each to their own
)
My concern was that was that Quattros might close, since it is the only establishment in Accy that I have taken the trouble to visit in the past two years.
I felt uncomfortable at the remarks made to her and was tempted to butt in, but I was in 'hassle avoidance' mode.
