Basic table manners in the UK
1, sitting: after sitting can not rush to order food, what questions can be asked directly to the waiter, they are generally very happy to answer any questions you ask it, if they are not very clear will ask the restaurant manager or chef. Dining time is too early, 11:00 noon or 5:30 p.m. to the Western-style restaurant, eat in a hurry to leave, talk about business at the table, dress is not polite, the main course is too slow to affect the next dish, or only point appetizers do not point the main course and desserts are impolite behavior.

2, the use of knife, fork and spoon placement rules: the use of knife and fork to eat, from the outside to the inside to take the knife and fork, in general (left-handed can be reversed to take, but the meal should also be put according to the original position to put back) the left hand holding a fork, the right hand holding a knife; the use of knives, the blade can be outward. When you put down the knife and fork in the meal, you should form a "eight" shape and put them on the side of the plate. The blade of the knife is facing towards you, indicating that you want to continue eating. After each dish, put the knife and fork together on the plate, indicating that the waiter can remove the cutlery. If you are having a conversation, you may hold your knife and fork without putting them down. When you are not using a knife, you may hold a fork in your right hand, but if you need to make a gesture, you should put down the knife and fork, and never wave the knife and fork in the air, or hold a knife or fork in one hand while wiping your mouth with a napkin in the other, or hold a wine glass in one hand while picking up a dish with a fork in the other. Remember, at no time should one end of the knife or fork be placed on the plate and the other on the table.
