I have found a teaspoon.
Wasn't in the sock drawer though.

I lost one only recently, so it could be mine. Would you mind uploading a photograph of the one you referred to.

Thanks awfully.

I've lost a teaspoon.

Where's the best place to look?
It may be that a guest in your house, over enamoured with your stirring piece has, 'inadvertently', left with it. If so, I hope this piece gives you hope.

Kitchen at work.

Everybody seems to use a new teaspoon every time they make a hot drink, I counted 30 just thrown in the sink !

Young Lady with tattoo on her wrist is their making a tea and a coffee, she takes two further teaspoons from the draw - one for each drink .

"Why cant you use one of the 30 or so in the sink ?"

" Oh yeah...."

I am quite happy to wash and dry a teaspoon.

My wedding anniversary is fast approaching and my wife has been dropping subtle hints all month about a gift. Using my man senses I am certain these clues decode as 'I want a teaspoon gift'

But which one? 8 year marriage, wife likes designer clothing, drives an SLK.

Bling: I'd go for a Norris "Oswa" (pref early model, in the wooden case)

Non-bling: Maybe a Raja "Balance", with the eared shaft.

Both suggest delicacy, intimacy and very good taste, IMO.

That's a cracking collection you've got there.

A little off topic but I noticed a few long spiked or 'long tined' forks in there. Few and far between nowadays.

Lovely stuff. Lovely

Some people really dont deserve nice things. Thats such an appalling way to treat your collection. The depreciation hit you will suffer on those due to condition will be huge.

Im not one to judge, but I certainly do not keep my spoons like that.

Your reaction is entirely understandable, but what many don't know is, as a relative newcomer to the sport, it takes what seems like an age to gain accreditation. No accreditation, no storage permit, no storage permit, no permission to apply for the appropriate storage receptacle. This is an issue the old guard seem very reluctant to solve. In the mean time I will take on board your concerns and try to improve my storage environment.

I need your help.

I recently bought 48 teaspoons for work as the originals supplied by the business when we first moved in to the building have vanished. The thing is that because I knew the originals had vanished the ones I bought were the sttest of the st and cost me £2.49 delivered, and were akin to stirring your tea with a piece of tin foil.

Three weeks after buying them we're down to just 11.

In your experience, where are they all going?

Hi, newbie to this thread. I have a Soviet-made old tea spoon from very young age, which shape I recently started to admire massively. The beauty of simplicity. I gave it a name which pleases me - Varda. Will post a piccie tomorrow if anyone interested.

When I was at secondary school in the early 70s, spooning-out girls was a major pastime. No matter how strong the canteen's security measures were made, these handy-sized cutlery items "disappeared" faster than a Theresa May manifesto pledge.

In the end, the headmaster bought a consignment from the Soviet-bloc and, a rumour went round that they were pressed from re-cycled nuclear missile parts.
