Can you use chopsticks?

We were off to the Island at the weekend, popped into Yo Sushi at Gatwick .. Bruv Graham's idea, ask him about the sauce on tap :D and they didn't have knives or forks, just them chopsticky things.

Well, I was lost. So can you do it? Does it get easier with practise?

It has always amazed me that with a civilization as advanced as the Chinese the only thing they could invent for eating was sticks. If I go to a chinese restaurant and they offer me sticks, I politely refuse and demand a fork. 8-) 8-) 8-)
