Re: It's the chop for the Knife!
It all depends on what you're eating whether you use a knife & fork. If you were eating a Chinese meal you would/should use chopsticks. Indian meal I just use a fork, BUT, you shouldn't use that really as you use the naan bread instead to pick up the food. Fish & chips are so much better out of the paper using your fingers. When we have fish & chips on a Friday I must admit we do have them on plates, but I only use a fork to cut the fish and use my fingers to eat the chips.

Suppose what I mean is sitting down at the table for a proper meal or even on a tray
Steak and chips for eg you can't cut up the steak and then lay the knife down and leaning on yer elbow
just use your fork...
it is bad manners surely!
mind you I had Kfc last nite and used me fingers
but then that sort of meal yes fingers are ok

Can't believe that of you Jimmy
but a girl who was at school when I was many , many years ago their family did have to use jam jars , and she would ask others to save theirs when they where empty for her.Hi Northern Lass I fully agree about not using a knife it gets my goat when I see people just using forks, and if you watch 'Corrie' David Platt eats with his fingers and few others which I think is bad.

I Rob I know you did not insinuate I was a skinflint , just thought I would get it in first for if you did.
I think you are really good fun and bet you would not hurt a fly.
