Place them to the right side of the plate, touching each other like they are off to the side.

If you keep the spoon and fork on either side of the plate(inside the plate) with the bowl side upwards, it indicates that you are not yet finished(and wants a little more of it!!!). If you keep them corossed on the plate with the bowl side down, it means that you are finished and the plate can be removed!!

I am a waiter AND I am french... So I should know...
You place the fork and spoon, side by side, on your plate, at the 4:30 hrs position... That is the way to get the waiter to take your plate...

Gee..All the different answers. I never knew there was a proper way, but like the 4:30 thing. Sounds like it would make it easier for the server to pick up your dirty plate

Placed in the middle of the plate, facing up/down. This indicates that you are finished in a polite way.
