Ohhh But looking at Laura doing that with the fork was like listening to someone scraping their nails down a chalk board...I felt like OMG I can just about imagine the scraping from the fork as it touches the ceramics...Ohhhhh no...The same with Tights...I couldn't wear them or even touch them

I've seen this sort of behaviour displayed in quite a few places and on the telly.. I'm sure Sophie (could have been someone else) from last years BB did it too! Oh, I could weep thinking about it!

LOL! just been out to places to eat alot Well I eat nice and slow anyways, takes me about 45 mins to eat Oven chips and beans LOL...or if I'm going for it, I would have oven chips and chicken, oven chips are healthy...I did live in OZ for 4 months, and they didn't have frozen chips at all...so I bought Real Potatoes and had Mash and beans with Kethup LOL...was on a budget, still am, I like to save for nice holidays instead of buying expensive food.
Well anyways I used to make my own bread too over there...bought some lovely meat from butchers there and had nice food

I'm a slow eater too..
I like eating in restaurants, but I'm completely arsey about spotting a "shoveller" or a "fork teether" or even worse somebody eating with their gob open!!
I've had to swap seats before so I can't see said disgraceful behaviour in eateries!
Yuk Yuk Yuk!

Happyland - I'm inclined to agree with you. but - there IS something worse than someone eating with their gob open and that's someone eating with their gob open, sitting opposite - and talking at the same time. :eek!:

Oh don't! *boaks*
I remember a customer coming into my work... a big dirty filthy looking woman and she was stuffing a sausage roll into her mouth whilst talking to me.. bits of flaky pastry were flying out her mouth and I could see the rest of it in her mouth. I had to get somebody else to deal with her! YUK!

No you are not

I think a healthy mixture of both methods is advisable.
