Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Yep, blades down and tines up here too. I am the only member of the household who does it properly!

Definitely blades/tines up for table cutlery and blades down for sharp knives. Surely blades/tines down mean all the muck runs down on to the bits that get closest to your mouth?

When I create a poll I sometimes just want to amuse and sometimes to see whether I am odd or in the mainstream of Fetchies who answer polls. Sometimes I want to provoke thought.

Has to be blades and tines up as otherwise they won't fit in. Sharp knives lie flat.

Oh this was my poll! I've never considered lying everyday cutlery flat across the top. I always put blades and tines down- stabbed myself once too often on a random upturned blade. The sharp ones do go flat separately in the top layer though.

And apologies if you're left with a random cross in your poll list, I thought I'd covered all options :-)

I put polls up generally to see breadth of opinion about things that don't really matter (I don't post many)

We don’t have one of those top level trays. Tines down take up too much room in the basket and are more likely to come out unclean that way.
