Irritating people on guided tours...

We went on a guided tour of Osborne House on the Isle of Wight on Sunday, quite interesting although not as impressive as Leeds Castle in Kent. The guide was an affable fellow... however there had to be the usual irritant you encounter on these sort of things, namely some old bat who seems to be under the impression that whatever the guide says is specifically directed at her... eg. Guide - "The painting is of Leopold who was Queen Victoria's uncle..." Old Bat - "Oh yes, I see, of course" Everyone else - Nothing said. Guide - "Prince Albert died when he was 42 etc." Old Bat - "Oh really, that was very young!" Everyone else - Silence. And so it goes on until you have the urge to yell "Shut up you stupid old biddy, we don't need your continuous comments"
