Let us know what you think about table manners.
UK family
spends on average more than £45 a week on restaurants and hotels for the
first time in five years, according to the Office for National Statistics
report "Family Spending in the UK".
Londoners
are spending even more.
Do people
care more about table manners when they go out more often? Apparently, yes. But
not in a way you would necessarily expect. At least not according to Jemma, a
young marketing manager based in Fitzrovia.
I want to
relax when I go out. I won't go to places where they expect me to use five sets
of cutlery. I won't go out with people who judge others, especially if the judgement is based on forks and knives.
Eating should not be complicated. And going out should be fun not trial. It is
enough I visit my grandparents twice a year.
A few minutes
later into conversation and Jemma makes her own
judgement. About the girl who drinks her gin with a straw. It is not a done thing in Jemma’s circles. The
full sausage hanging on the fork and gnawed on each side in turns is fine. But
a straw in a glass… How further low can you go?
