Brighton College has introduced a compulsory etiquette course for its pupils covering such topics as when to remove one's jacket at dinner, which fork to use when and how to waltz.

But how's your grasp of modern manners? Test yourself.

I've been married twice...................both times by a justice of the peace.

To me, etiquette is not as important as common courtesy.

6 out of 10. but I'm a Texan...big dinners here usually involve paper plates, cups, and plastic silverware.

I got 8/10....I failed miserably at the dinner fork thing....we don't use silver-ware....we use our fingers!!:):wah::wah:

Oh my God! 2/10. No wonder I am always told that I have lots of class...only that it is all lower!!:wah:

Well, lets just say my score indicates I'm ready to have dinner with the Queen! (Sure hope their Hamburgers are good!:D)

9 of 10. I'm sorry but I'm talking to both ladies. :p



I remember in England, my beloved and I went to a pub to eat. Their hunting dog plopped down at our feet, under the table, then released the most foul fart ever! :yh_sick Per ettiquette, I smiled at my fellow guest and we both prayed for a breeze.

I hope everyone here got the toilet lid/seat question correct!:p

10 out of 10 I had to take a Miss Manners classes when I was young. I don't practice any of them just took the class. :wah:
