So. I was at a military dinner/awards thing last night. At a hotel, not the mess. Not as formal as a full black tie mess do.
The port was passed to the left, as you would expect.
What I didn't know is that the male of the species is the only one allowed to pour, and I was not supposed to touch the decanter, what with having a vagina.
I do have to admit that once the queen had been toasted the decanter seemed to stay at our end of the table, and DH was regularly tasked with topping up duties (as I couldn't possibly do it myself)
