We always eat at the table, breakfast and evening meal. Only have a tablecloth on when we have visitors, we normally just have table mats, but like to dress it up a bit with visitors!
I've got Strongbow! And bulmers. In fact I've got so much booze in for Christmas it makes oddbins look like the temperance society.
I am SUCH a wine snob tho. Mr BM asked me why I bought a particular bottle of wine. Was it the grape? The year? The way it accompanies food? No. It was a pretty bottle that i can put lights in when im done drinking and it was reduced..........
//Sadly I read that as "eat off me naked". That's a bit kinky.......//
That reminds me of other atrocities that we've put our table through that the Hycinth Buckets wouldn't approve of lol, they'd definitely want a cloth on it after that ;-) x
sherrardk - apologies if you thought I was having a dig; absolutely not the case and not my style at all.
Interestingly, the reason you don't have a cloth is the reason we do - we always had a "nude" table and used mats until laptops came along and lived at one end and we find a protector and table-cloth is a better way of making sure the table surface doesn't get damaged.
Well who knew tablecloths could be so divisive!
I find kitchen roll very good as a napkin, except on Christmas Day when I push the boat out and buy festive paper ones.
