I have cunningly hit upon a signal to the server of my own since the knife and fork signal doesn't seem to work here. I crumple a tissue and put it on my plate when I'm finished. Works like a charm!

I believe that's so we don't engage in a mid-dinner wank tbh.

Now if you wanna talk about blinds being closed 24/7:blink:...ok i'm leaving!:lol: My visiting (Brit) family seem paranoid about open blinds; even though my house sits high on a hill, has gorgeous panoramic views and no hope of anyone ever looking inside, they seem to hate me leaving the blinds open at night. We have floor-to-ceiling windows and at night the view is stunning ... So I'm guessing it's the Brits who close blinds ... but not sure what you are getting at :) |

I also insist on locked doors at night. My OH thinks I'm bonkers. |

Re: Knife and fork usage
You know what? I don't care how you hold your bloody fork or knife as long as you keep 'em the hell off MY plate!!

Re: Knife and fork usage
Now i'm totally confused. Isn't it completely normal to close the curtains at night and the lock the doors before going to bed?
That's not weird old habits is it? It's just the normal, sensible thing to do. |
