I was indeed. I also kept quiet about this;
A little later, near the sun-loungers at the Tapas end of the swimming pool, some of our group were discussing whether to cancel our dinner booking in the evening and take the kids to the Millennium instead. We’d heard that another couple we’d met had tried unsuccessfully to book a table at the Tapas restaurant and we wondered whether it was fair of us to be taking over the place. Although the restaurant was accepting other reservations, our party of nine occupied most of the available places and I, for one, felt rather guilty about that. However, when someone pointed out that we’d be gone by Saturday whereas this family was staying on for another week, it didn’t seem quite so unreasonable, and we decided to stick with our original plan. {madleine Kate McCann}
That's fair of you.
I don't see what the fuss is about for some posters. Whether Gerry thought that there was an issue as to whether they'd get in or not, there was apparently a discussion as to whether they ought to let others dine there that night and go to the Millenium.
Not sure if someone else had considered a night in, or not. Kate? Not sure.
For me, I found the main point to be sadly ironic: if they had ended up choosing other dining arrangements that evening, they would have been with the kids.
