How do you listen to 5 live if you have muted the commentators?

I normally play Saturday and need an alarm to wake me.
Decided to give today a miss but forgot to turn the alarm off.

The thread leading to poor commentators started with a comment about muting to cut out the commentators.You must be getting me mixed up with someone else, I've never mentioned muting the commentary, sorry

Just been for a nice meal again.
But bloody kids eating without a Knife.
How’s that become the norm. Just seen a family of four on the next table and three inc the dad never picked up the knife.
When dinner was done. The same three spent 20 mins on there phones.
Only the mum knows how to use a knife.
Even young Bradley Tash had started forgetting to use his knife. It ain’t happening in my gaff.

spoon and a fork is all you need unless it's a nice steak. Just use the edge of the fork to cut if ness. Knifes are overrated

Get a spork and you only need one implement and can keep the other hand free for your phone

Waste of time a fork is more than enough with a spoon for a curry that again use the side for the meat.Get a spork and you only need one implement and can keep the other hand free for your phone

Sod them. Any kind of maintenance especially free is better than none.

Depends what they're eating doesn't it? You don't need a knife for pasta for example. Or burger and chips. Or soup.Just been for a nice meal again.

But it keeps them on the knife."

Spike repeated it.Wasn't that attributed to Spike Milligan? Although smells of Edward Lear!
It was broadcast on a radio programme in 1944, before Spike's time.
No confirmation of author has ever been accepted.
Speculation has included Lear, Ogden Nash and Shel Silverstein.

It happened rather later in life than I'd have wished that I found out that the 'proper' way to eat peas is to use your knife to squash them onto the back of your fork.
Oh yes. Saves peas from flying all over the place whilst maintaining fork in left hand rather than shovelling with right (if right-handed).
And the way that some folks grip their fork - weird...the only acceptable way is three finger left hand grip with thumb slightly underneath and forefinger down the handle.
BTW - Americans have absolutely no idea of the proper way to use a knife and fork - terrible.

Are people really struggling to eat peas? I just use the fork 'underarm' in the same manner as a spoon and the peas sit nicely in between the tines. Very easy. It's amazing what some people struggle with.
