Customer Reviews

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Should be in every home.
This is a straight forward book giving a reference to most modern situations. All the stuff you should know, but might need to be reminded of.

Rating:

- Charming, witty, and full of excellent tips
The fundamentals of good manners are universal, but the traditions and cultural quirks of British life are unfamiliar to foreigners. Since I will be in London attending an academic programme later this year, I want to make sure that I can navigate new situations with ease. Thanks to Ms Britten's book, I am even more eager to begin my time abroad!

Rating:

- All a bit obvious really.
I bought this book hoping for something quite in depth that would give me advice on conduct in different social situations. However I really didn't feel like it delivered. All of it's suggestions were obvious and I learnt very little from it. I wouldn't recommend anyone who had been brought up knowing how to hold a knife and fork to buy this book. It is nicely presented but really of little substance.

Rating:

- Fashionable Advice
This book dispenses the usual sensible advice albeit in a slightly more glossy format than Emily Post. At worst, this book is more style than substance but at best it can give readers useful information about how to behave in a range of circumstances.

If you like flicking through glossy mags, this is the etiquette guide for you. Good fun.

Rating:

- Patronising rule book
It's a light, refreshing book, but I'm a little disappointed as most of rules are pretty basic and common sense, e.g. you should send a thank you note within a few days after receiving an invitation to a dinner party. Umm...okay, like we didn't thought of that! Also, I don't really like the writer's tone, I find her language a little patronising and snobby...
