RIP.

According to the - Third Leader in The Times today (always worth reading. In fact when my children were young - I would ask them each day "had they read the Third Leader"? Invariably, they hadn't). We can solemnly announce the - long awaited death of the - fish knife. What was the original purpose of this ridiculous piece of cutlery? It was always pretentious and unnecessary. The petty bourgeoisie - had a particular addiction to this flummery. It was an etiquette cul - de - sac. Thank goodness - we aren't exposed to this otiose chicanery any longer.
