The scoffing of food is an interesting one (well, interesting to me at least). Can I get done for not being in proper control if eating, for example, a Peter's Chicken Pasty whilst driving? If so, why not if I was smoking? Dropping crumbs on your lap isn't quite as distracting as dropping hot fag ash, surely? If it comes down to size, where's the boundary? Pie? Pasty? Can of Red Bull? Mars? Twix? Cigar? Cigarette?
I stick my foot on the plate under the parking brake
but does anyone else find the parking brake sticks in your shin? or is it just because I have big size 12 feet?

I don't get dug in the shin (size ten) but I know on my Toyotas, where this little plate thing was down next to the clutch, it felt a bit too-far-up to be somewhere to rest your foot. Tried removing it only to find a great big bolt sticking up for it to attach to - bugger!
erm i do both i rest my foot under the hand brake pedal and i use it to brake with although i will admit to a curiosity as to how the hell i would be able to handbrake turn this thing at times
Foot rest & Just down there resting on the floor 
80% of time it is on the foot plate
20% anywhere my foot can reach inthe footwell as long as it does not disturb my right foot

Footplate for me as well 
A majority of the time I rest it on the footplate, but sometimes I'll place it flat on the floor.
footplate for me tooo 
With my normal seat position my left foot doesn't reach the dedicated footplate !
It just sits on the floor leaning up against the gearbox tunnel minding its own business

Im sure if I was an auto driver my left leg would probably get bored and rap itself around the gear knob! What a poll!

out of the sunroof
Paul McCartney's missus puts hers in the boot! 
just there on the footrest
The great L.K.J. Setright reckoned that we should all learn to drive two footed, as you react faster if your foot is already over the brake, rather than having to shift from accelerator pedal.
Not as good as the old Citroen DS which had just a BUTTON thing....I used to drive barefoot in summer with just my big toe on the button!
