I don't want to get food on my boobs

I find throwing the plates on the ground much less confusing.

Are these posts related ?

Razor wire.........

So who closes blinds - Brits or Yanks?

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 think that's more out of habit, and old habits die hard!

I have to confess: I HATE having curtains open at night for all and sundry to get a good nosy at my windows. I am definitely guilty of old habits.

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

(most) Brits do tend to close blinds curtains at night, when the lights are on inside the house (at night) that is when people can see in, so mine get closed, usually only in the room I am sitting in though.

I was actually talking about the daytime, didn't want to resurrect this 'old' discussion, but it seems to me that it's the Americans that have a 'habit' of keeping blinds/curtains closed during the day....sometimes it is to save fading on furniture/carpets etc, but more often is just out of habit

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!!

Some nutter might walk through our unlocked front door and machete us in the middle of the night!

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.

I do. you can't see the wonderful view anyway if the lights are on.
