Table setting etiquette was a big thing in my privileged upbringing from the moment u sat at the table to your behavior/manners between meals to the finish of the meal where of course u position the knife & fork side by side pointing into the center of the plate each piece of cutlery was to be treated with the utmost respect, imagine my horror these days when I am handed a thin piece of wood as a substitute for a spoon in most places I have tea/cappuchino etc I always have to ask for a spoon Its not easy being posh in todays society...
