my parents brought me up to have good manners, yes , please , thank you, bad manners only resulted in one thing.At senior school had to have good manners when in school uniform, opening doors for other people, giving up seats on bus, if you got reported for not having good manners it was an appointment withe head. Grandson aged 6, has to ask Please thank you etc.
My main gripe is moblie phones in restaurants, people sit down and out comes mobile, and waiting staff have to come a second/ third time to take orders

I know train commuting can bring out the worst in people but I see some shocking adult behaviours which sets a terrible example to our school age friends using the trains in term time.
