Their tried-and-tested guidelines are divided into five main categories:At Home: family life; sharing is caring; entertaining at home; dinner; welcome to the neighbourhoodAt Large: work; public spaces; public transport and petiquette – pets in publicAt Play: social life; eating out, staying away; dating in the modern world@ Your Computer: digital decorum; phonesAt the End: dealing with illness and death Good manners are not about knowing what to wear for drinks at six, being pretentious or catching people out with some mysterious salad-fork-related regulation. In essence, good manners are simply organised kindness, and Kay and Debora will show you how being in possession of them will enhance the quality of your everyday life and that of the people around you.
