Why can’t the British eat or drink anything unless they place a table cloth on the table first?

Like many newlyweds of the immediate post-war period my parents began their married life in 1946 with Utility furniture and the Utility mark (pictured) was very familiar to me. The utility scheme

Weeeeeeeell!

Later on, after we’d moved south, we had dining room furniture – table, chairs and a sideboard – in teak which demanded equal care and respect, and it was these that were passed on to me when I got married and ventured out on my own. It didn’t take me long for me and me partner to realise that we didn’t have to do things the way our parents did, and in the early days at least we had less space than our parents ever had, and all that dining furniture got in the way. So we stopped taking meals formally except for special occasions or for guests. A tray on the lap did just fine. And so it did for the people around us.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

That was true up to a point about my parents and grandparents. Meals, even breakfast at weekends, were semi-formal family occasions with the whole family seated round a be-tableclothed table, each in her/his place with cutlery laid out properly. It was often the job of me and my sister to set the table for a meal. The cloth was there for protection, these were wooden tables.

I’m sure there are families that still do the formal family meals, but in our time-challenged age with many families keeping different hours, individual self-service meals are now pretty much the norm most of the time. And even for special occasions, you’re much more likely to see placemats rather than a full tablecloth.

was devised to make the best possible use of scarce resources but it wasn’t rubbish by any means. It was made of domestic timbers like oak, elm or beech, no nonsense with Ikea plastic-veneered chipboard, and was rationed for sale to newlyweds setting up first homes. In the days of severe austerity you treasured this bonus and protected it.
