Your figures have just spurred me to measure the various styles of dinner plates I have. They range from 10in with 7in usable space to 11in with 8in usable space. I don't count the 'rims' as usable. These are a 'normal' size over here in my experience.

My larger side plates are 8in with 6.5in usable space and the smaller ones 7in with 5.5in usable. These are a perfect size for what mates call my 'bird' portions. cheep-cheep-quack!

US plates are humongous ! i prefer to use really small, like a salad plate, and enjoy a second 'serving' ...
