The world is changing and you can either sit on your behind and moan or you can do something about it. We are not going to hell in a hand basket assaulted by the chav-nots and the pushy middle classes trashing manners. Most of us know the right and wrong way to behave. We have just lost the confidence to apply it.

No one wants to bow and scrape to the rhythms of outdated etiquette any more. So it doesn"t matter if you pass the port to the right or the left so long as everyone gets a drink. Hold your knife any way you want except as a weapon. Date, eat, work, speak, dress, talk on your mobile, tip, text, take your children to eat out in any way you like, but what really matters is that you do it in a way that respects others.

This book is a campaign. Join now and march. The slogan reads: Good manners are the foreplay of social intercourse. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Done Thing (Simon Fanshawe)
