'I think people who are so desperate to take a call in the pub need to be ex-communicated outside to a designated area, just like happened with smokers 16 years ago this very month.' ✍️ Emmie Harrison-West (emmieehw) writes for MetroOpinion

Say, if you were on a date and your admirer went to the loo – you need your phone to check in with people and tell them that you’re OK, or not having a good time and need help.

But what I fiercely don’t agree with is the tinny, jingling nose of Candy Crush or TikTok on full volume while I’m suppin’ a fresh pint of ale. It makes me feel on edge, distracted. Furious. More than once, I’ve even left a pub mid-pint as I can’t bear the noise any longer. Not what the industry needs, considering an estimated 1,000 pubsTimes are hard, and as a beer writer I’ll be the first to tell you the pub needs your custom more than ever right now – but too many people need a refresher lesson on basic manners. To learn boundaries when it comes to their precious devices.
