A later polite request for a spare chair from the kitchen was met with a pointed "No"
Yes, I had a nasty feeling that would be part of the complaint :-/ In fact I think ptc24's "No" was actually part of the conversation he was having with me and Ian, since it made sense in that context, was followed up by a continuing rant about, er, whatever we were talking about at the time (either programming or go, but I can't remember which it was at that point), and had nothing to do with the request for a chair. I think we would have answered the chair question after Peter had finished his sentence, but they'd misunderstood and gone away by that time.
(I also feared they might take particular offence given that there was visibly a chair in the kitchen that we weren't sitting on - but, of course, it was the broken one.)
