Why do people use napkins at weddings anyway? Don't you manage to eat other days without piles of stuff on your knees?

[Mike Hughes]

Oh dear.

Sorry G, wasn't meant as an insult. I'm from Aberdeen myself.

There does seem to be a bit of a reputation though as you can see here:

http://www.scotsindependent.org/feat...shortbread.htm

Traditionally it is claimed that Scots are mean and that Aberdonians are meanest of all. Tight as two coats of paint as the saying goes! This is strenuously denied by Aberdeen-born Flag contributor Peter D Wright. He says that Aberdonians, like all Scots, are merely 'cannie wi thair siller' (careful with their money).

I can see where this is going to take us already.

Take your pick:

1) Because people want their wedding to be proper and dignified?

2) Because caterers want to add on as much stuff as possible to justify their charges?

3) Because no man would dare suggest to his wife-to-be that they didn't need napkins at the wedding?

There is of course only one correct answer.

Aye, whoever invented napkins was gay.

Aye, whoever invented napkins was gay.

The fork was banned in the British Royal Navy until 19th century. It was thought that the prongs of a fork pressed against a plate looked very much like female legs in an indecent state of exposure

Fascinating stuff
