Summary
How do you get rid of unwanted guests? What do you do if there's a racket in the quiet carriage? How should you eat peas, and behave in queues?
How to behave, like how to punctuate, is an aspect of life that many are no longer taught. Thankfully, Sandi Toksvig has come to the rescue with her entertaining guide to modern manners, with characteristic wit and perceptiveness.

It is exactly what is says
I love Sandi, but perhaps I misunderstood what to expect from this book. It is sort of funny, but mainly it is literally a lesson in manners for those who have none. If you already have pretty good manners it quickly gets dull.

Sandy is wonderful as ever, but the text could do with a bit of updating to remain current

Very informative and humorous
Listening to Sandi narrating was fabulous, her humour made what could be a heavy subject extremely informative and lighter as well as very funny in parts.
I hope Mary enjoys this as much as I did.
