    Only round here too. But I'm a fan of those curvy square plates. The wavy style ones. I like them.

    With questions like that, you could use those plates for the dinner party from hell.

    I've never been in a house with square plates, they seem to be exclusive to fancy restaurants.

    Square ones (albeit bowl type ones) and round ones.

    Nothing to do with me. If it was my choice, I'd have about 5 plates maximum.

    3. Square, round and rectangle. Square is for steak only, and rectangle is for Sunday roast....they fit mountains of food.

    Three. Round, square and oval. Four, if you go into three dimensions, and include those high-sided pasta bowl things.

    Does anyone have any advise on how to get your wife barred from Home Store? If they start to stock triangular plates, we'll need to move to a house with a bigger kitchen.

    Just the round ones. Square ones were invented by the prince of darkness to be sure.

    Who needs plates? Just eat your food out of whatever it was delivered in. Saves on washing up and gives you extra space in your cupboards for alcohol.

    Circle and square. Only 2 round plates so they have to be saved for when the microwave needs used. Never buying square plates.

    Pffft... go 'way with your "curvy" - just say what they are: fat.
