Hi

Hubby and I have a dilema.

He wants the fruit bowl on the dining table.

I always thought it was common. We currently have it on a side table.

Please be gentle with me.....Grin

Ours moves between the dining table and the kitchen table, depending on what's in it.

If you were a proper family who ate every meal at the table, you'd find moving it three times a day too much of a hassle.

A fruit bowl on the dining room table therefore indicates that you eat most of your meals in front of the TV and is obviously a sign of being lower-class.

It's all bollocks, put it wherever is most convenient you silly billies

It should be on the kitchen table. The dining table should have silverware and candelabra only.

Ours is on the coffee table, probably common as muck....

Pauline Fowler in Eastenders always had hers on the table.
