 Should be in every home. July 28, 2008
This is a straight forward book giving a reference to most modern situations. All the stuff you should know, but might need to be reminded of.
Charming, witty, and full of excellent tips February 23, 2008
The fundamentals of good manners are universal, but the traditions and cultural quirks of British life are unfamiliar to foreigners. Since I will be in London attending an academic programme later this year, I want to make sure that I can navigate new situations with ease. Thanks to Ms Britten's book, I am even more eager to begin my time abroad!
 All a bit obvious really. October 29, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this book hoping for something quite in depth that would give me advice on conduct in different social situations. However I really didn't feel like it delivered. All of it's suggestions were obvious and I learnt very little from it. I wouldn't recommend anyone who had been brought up knowing how to hold a knife and fork to buy this book. It is nicely presented but really of little substance.
Fashionable Advice April 30, 2007
7 out of 11 found this review helpful
This book dispenses the usual sensible advice albeit in a slightly more glossy format than Emily Post. At worst, this book is more style than substance but at best it can give readers useful information about how to behave in a range of circumstances.
If you like flicking through glossy mags, this is the etiquette guide for you. Good fun.
Patronising rule book April 11, 2007
10 out of 20 found this review helpful
It's a light, refreshing book, but I'm a little disappointed as most of rules are pretty basic and common sense, e.g. you should send a thank you note within a few days after receiving an invitation to a dinner party. Umm...okay, like we didn't thought of that! Also, I don't really like the writer's tone, I find her language a little patronising and snobby...
