Corner Table

I like to sit in a corner where possible as it is a great VANTAGE point 

A lady came up to be many years ago and asked why I sat in the corner of the cafe - I replied that I did not really know but I preferred to see what was going on  - she then told me that in days gone by it would have been a desirable position to be as no enemy could creep up behind - with the possible intention of causing you harm  - Quiet a thought

Anyone else like sitting in a corner or against a wall?
