TABLEtalk - Room 101

Our theme at TABLEtalk last night was 'If I Ruled the World'. We began with some very animated discussion about 'power' and both it's positive and negative uses.  We also thought about what issues we would personally address if we were made leader of our own nation 😳😳😳

Then, using the concept of Room 101, taken from George Orwell's classic '1984' and from the TV show, we thought about our own pet peeves and the thing we would like to banish to Room 101.

Under the topic of FASHION there were a good number of candidates and lots of agreement regarding the consumerism surrounding fashion.  However, by democratic vote 'ridiculous high-end fashion that no normal person would wear' was banished to Room 101.

Our second category was TECHNOLOGY and whilst every group had TikTok on their list the final vote was, most definitely, to banish 'technological advancement in weaponry'.

Last, but by no means least, came DRIVING.  Oh sooooo many things were nominated here but by serious majority vote all 'back seat drivers' are hereby firmly and forever placed in Room 101.
