My father always used to insist that I clean my plate before I left the table, ie mop up the gravy with the potatoes or what ever so I didnt leave the plate swimming in gravy which he thought was inconsiderate to anyone washing up and was lazy and I still do it to this day. These days I never see anyone doing this and I think it looks slovenly, leaving the plate covered in mess. Anyone agree with this or is it just me?

we couldnt leave the table ie me and my siblings, no pick and choose either..you eat what's in front you, back in the day, dad was head of the table, and when he came home from work, respect....
he did not have to scold us, you knew your place...and speak the
queens english properly, and always be polite.
