But manners are more than a dusty tradition: Done right, they make life easier-for everyone! Thats why Sandi Toksvig highlights decency rather than convention in this entertaining guide, with: Spot-On Advice: Remember-you dont have to answer the phone, so dont do it if you dont have time to be polite. Fascinating Trivia: It is very rude to clear the plate of someone who hasnt finished. In fact, the Romans believed doing so would bring about the diners sudden death.

Be the most decently behaved person in the room, and the most interesting: Master The Tricky Art of Co-Existing!
