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

I forgot to say it was cold tea out of a milk bottle. we couldn't afford flasks.

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.

Annie

David Platt?
Is that what he's doing nowadays last i heard he was managing Notts Forest!!
Do people still watch " Corrie" nowadays? Is Albert Tatlock still around?

'Albert Tatlock' are you old enough to rememer him Rob.
