You certainly don't hear it as often as you once did. I've actually told people, "a thank you would be nice", and either got a blank look or some mumbled reply

@Travelbug Exactly.
Some days it's as rare as hen's teeth.

@Nimbus despite having a backpack on, I helped a Muslim lady down the stairs at busy Oxford Circus with her pram and not a smile or thanks. It does make me angry
Nimbus · M
@Travelbug Yep and then one wonders why bother!
Sad.

@Nimbus I still do as I do have manners, but it does seem to be something some people don't care about.

@Travelbug Good manners will have disappeared totally in about another 25 years.
