I used to enjoy our lunchtime jaunts and it was wonderful to be in the presence of such a gentleman. Its lovely to be treated as a lady and have doors opened for you etc. Sadly though, such manners seem to have gone the way of the dodo.The Vintage Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479653990888198151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655974554267650893.post-29403532784391538532011-03-27T13:54:04.689+01:002011-03-27T13:54:04.689+01:00Its funny to read this as most of this is second n...Its funny to read this as most of this is second nature in my beliefs, and I expect others to follow suit (which is a little unfair nowadays (?)!)…well, apart from the dancing bit- I don’t dance- so I don’t go to dances, but if I did, I can tell you I would be extremely miffed if none of the above happened!
