FLY2 10,108 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 That REALLY gets my goat seeing people shovelling food in by only holding a fork. Or struggling to cut meat with the knife only held between one finger and the thumb. Philistines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,712 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Glad to be of service Oz and Loppy. You know how I love the history of this sort of stuff.
