I've been thinking about Squirrel being cut by her butter knife; that seems odd as butter knives are rounded, not blunt; at least here, anyway. Maybe this is another UK/US difference? I've learned so much on here....  Anyhow, here's a pic of my butter knife, next to a fork for size comparison, and you can see it has no cutting edge at all. Sorry, the silver needs polishing, although the brownish bit is reflection, not tarnish!!   [/IMG]  |

Eileen, traditionaly butter knives are rounded. We don't have a butter knife, i just use an ordinary knife that we use with our meals. The knives that i have dropped have tended to sharp knives for peeling veg. Like you i'm interested in the differences in our countries and language. One i'm thinking of is Purse, i think your purses are actual bags wearas a purse is just for money and cards here |

You're right, Shelley, a purse is for as much as you want to/can cram in, not just wallet/cards/keys. I use a vegetable peeler, a double bladed swiveling thingy; no sharp point.  The differences are interesting, aren't they? |

Hi both... Toe is getting there slowly, though I had to wear dressing over night, cause it bled if it rubbed against anything... Yes Eileen, butter knife very similar to that. Not sharp and pointy, but blunt, fairly rounded, and bendy metal!!! I called it a bread knife to the first person, then realised that was generally, sharp, serrated, and used for chopping bread. Wrong thing altogether! I'm guessing it was just the height... As for my having butter knife... someone gave them to me when I moved into the flat... Peeler - I'd use similar to that blade wise, and many people over here would use just that kind, but I first 'met' that kind in school. Far easier to use this kind:  |

Thanks, Squirrel; I've never seen a peeler like that; I do enjoy seeing the differences in the things we use. How is the toe this morning? Hope it's not too painful. |

Toe is doing alright I think thanks Eileen. It's now stopped bleeding for every tiny little thing, but will still do so a bit for unusual positions. I crouched in the office this morning and ouch! It also doesn't like it too much if I walk too far, but... *shrugs* It's going to have to live with that one. No need for pain killers, it's not that bad thank goodness. |
