Good heavens, I go for lunch and I'm way behind! Conscious I've missed much of this but by way of explanation... I've got lots of teaspoons too and I'm not really sure how - I'm sure they multiply behind my back. My cutlery drawer is quite a contrast with my other half's - he only has 2 teaspoons. 2 teaspoons!! I think I might start to transfer some surreptitiously, you can't properly get by with only 2 teaspoons. You and your other half have separate cutlery drawers??! We have not only separate cutlery drawers but separate houses in separate counties at the moment. Of course we're trying to rectify that (good timing  ) but now of course he's broken his collar bone so that's a further spanner in the proverbial works...  Micro-rant over.  Edit: Doh - this is senior moments isn't it? Not rants... what a senior moment... Oooh I'm back on topic. Ho ho.  |

Which reminds me. Why do some people get so concerned about putting the right cutlery items in the right trays in the drawer? I can easliy tell a knife from a spoon by looking at it, and therefore I distribute them randomly into the different trays. My mother thinks this is untidy and whenevr she visits she separates them out.

We might just both have had very fixed and different ideas about which way round the knives, forks and spoons go.  Oh God - his spoons are on the left and mine are on the right....  |

Not just in the right compartment, Richard, but the right way round, too. It all helps when you are preparing things in a hurry. No need to look, you know where each variety of cutlery is to be found. Now don't forget to pour copious quantities of bleach down the sink after you have done the washing up.

Not long ago we came across almost half a set of (non-matching) cutlery, the kitchen-fitter said it wasn't unusual.

The Worcester ones don't seem to, the Gu ones on the other hand.... |
