Finger Lickin' Good

I hear that London school children are being targeted by councils and education authorities for their lack of table manners. Seems that too much time eating at fast food joints has led to the loss of the ability to use a knife and fork - never seemed to bother Americans but anyway, my point is that it is certainly good manners in Indian and Asian households generally to eat with your fingers. Sticking your fingers straight in and licking it off adds to the enjoyment in my opinion.

So whats happened here? Another whitecentric policy riding roughshod over the cultural backgrounds of the Asian majority? Dont forget by 2006, London's population will be 52% ethnic - so who's the minority now?

How about a dose of their own medicine? Down that sausage and mash with a digit, kids! Reclaim your rights and dont let them point the finger.
