With a limited amount of cupboard space, can somebody explain to me why we have fancy china? We don’t even have people round for dinner. When I go round to someones house for dinner, I don’t think to myself ‘these plates are a bit shit’. I can honestly say I’ve never thought that, and I doubt any other rational persona has either. So why am I wasting one of my three cupboards with plates that if I use, I run the risk of being more severely battered than a Millwall supporting cod in a West Ham chip shop.
