Peas & Queues: The Minefield of Modern Manners by Sandi Toksvig
Requirements: PDF Reader, 1.2mb
Overview: 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 – and getting it wrong is the stuff of comedy (or humiliation). Keen to avoid such situations herself Sandi has put together her own thoughts on modern manners dealing with everything from how to avoid killing others at the dinner table to why spitting has gone out of fashion.
This is a book intended to be entertaining and useful to anyone planning to be born, to die and to not live on a desert island. The book reveals fascinating details about how our manners have changed across time, from the earliest étiquettes (little cards to remind courtiers how to behave) to tackling the trolls of twitter.
