Description
No one learns "etiquette" anymore (except by embarrassing trial and error). But manners are more than a dusty tradition: Done right, they make life easier{u2014}for everyone! That{u2019}s why Sandi Toksvig highlights decency rather than convention in this entertaining guide, with: Spot-On Advice: "Remember{u2014}you don{u2019}t have to answer the phone, so don{u2019}t do it if you don{u2019}t have time to be polite." Fascinating Trivia: "It is very rude to clear the plate of someone who hasn{u2019}t finished. In fact, the Romans believed doing so would bring about the diner{u2019}s sudden death." And Her Characteristic Wit: "Focusing on the people you share a meal with is both a pleasure and a necessity. Get to know your family members; you might even like them." Be the most decently behaved person in the room, and the most interesting: Master The Tricky Art of Co-Existing!
