Eatery says no to racy mobile calls

A restaurant in Portugal has barred its customers from talking on their mobile telephones after a man had a racy conversation while having a meal at the establishment, a daily newspaper reported.

“He completely forgot that he was in a public place, everyone stopped to listen to the conversation which I can only say was really very sensual,” the owner of the restaurant, Carlos Fernandes, told Correio da Manha. Diners at the restaurant in the northern city of Guimaraes, located some 350 kilometres northeast of Lisbon, are now asked to leave their mobile phones at the door, turn them off or in case of an emergency, keep them on vibration mode. “Of course if the conversation is not pleasant, I am the one who pays because the food will not taste as good and it will seem like it is a problem of the restaurant,” Fernandes said. Portugal has one of the highest rates of mobile ownership in the European Union, with more than nine million portable phone owners. afp
