I taught my children to set the table the same way: Fork-left, 4 letters. Port-left, 4 letters. Make a 'd' with your right thumb and forefinger and remember what side the drink is on. Left thumb curled up makes a 'b' and you know which bread is yours. Good to know at those tables of 8 or 10 pax on a ship.
