Watch this it's a bit of a laugh.

Most of it I can agree with, but my big gripe, as a left-hander, is spoons. I use them logically.

As a Catholic the teachers and nuns at primary school tried to keep us safe from the Devil, so we had to eat and write the right-handed way. It worked, except for writing and spoons.

The logical way is that you use a fork in your left hand to prepare the food and then put it in your mouth with that same hand, so why swap to your right hand with a spoon for soup or apple crumble and custard - it makes no sense? It's an added and unnecessary skill and I am sure that is why so many right-handers dribble soup and spill jelly and cream down their jumpers - they haven't mastered the multi-tasking aspect... especially the boys.

that was interesting to watch - so many different ideas about what is right and wrong

And fair point re the spoon - it does make sense

My mother was big into table manners.
She taught me which was the correct fork to scratch my back with.
