Table Manner - finished position of knife and fork

When I was small, I read an article about the table manner. I was fasinated by the finished position of knife and fork. The finished position is different in different countries.

I've tried to find this information in the internet, but I couldn't find any good articles on this topic. None of the articles talks about the table manner for all countries in the world. Each article only talks about 1 or 2 countries.

What is the silence code that tells the waiter that you are finished?


Argentina

• cross fork and knife in the middle of the plate

British

• knife and fork together at four o’clock
• fork on the left and knife on the right
• knife blade facing in
• fork tines facing down

Canada, United States

• place knife and fork (tines up) side by side on the plate at the 10:20 o'clock position, with the handles of your silverware at the four
• fork on the left and knife on the right
• the blade of the knife facing the fork
• fork tines facing up

Columbia

• place the knife and fork horizontally across the plate

France

• knife and fork on the plate together in the middle

Germany

• place fork and knife parallel across the right hand side of plate

Italy, Switzerland

• place knife and fork (tines up) side by side on the plate at the 5:25 o'clock position
• fork on the left and knife on the right
• the blade of the knife facing the fork

These are all I found so far....
If you know more, please let me know.
