ah yes, manners. a very english complaint, i think. as soon as i started visiting (english) friends' houses after school it became clear that i had a lot to learn. i held my knife and fork in the wrong hands (an absolute no no), i READ at the table (i really couldn't help this) and certainly didn't know that one had to ASK before one could leave the table.

it's no surprise then that since acquiring a mobile (rather late as it happens - i didn't get around to buying one until the end of my first year at uni) my ever sloppy manners have slippery-slipped ever lower...
