This takeout double may well not be to your taste, but would you dream of bidding 3♦ in the circumstances ?

Excellent example of a canape response to T/O double. IIRC this is Bridge 101.

GIB always prefers minors to majors when jumping over a takeout double. It's really annoying :( Just a case of the rule being too generic - if you have any 5 card suit with the right values, bid it - and it testing bids in the order CDHS.

The "customer" bid so poorly that GIB probably thought it might just compound the silliness.
