Summary

Over the last fifty years, manners have changed considerably. In this guide, Her Ladyship lifts the lid on how to behave at social events, as well as giving helpful advice for any modern-day dilemma, answering questions like: Should I still avoid wearing black at a wedding? How do I introduce myself to someone at a party? What social events can I take my children to? What are the social no-nos in email exchanges? What 'travel manners' do I need for journeys using public transport? How much jewellery should I wear to a job interview? From the traditional elements of 'etiquette' for weddings and funerals, to tips on being polite when using email and the internet, Her Ladyship's advice will guide you through life and will help you appear polite and well-mannered to everyone you meet, avoiding any embarrasing social faux pas.
