Win Good Manners
If you’re a decent sort of chap you’ll know how important it is to get things right in the trickiest social situations. Those smooth fellows who always get their girl are not always the best looking or the sportiest, they are almost invariably the ones who effortlessly understand etiquette and can slide seamlessly into any social situation.
Words to the wise
So Wadworth the traditional brewers of fine real ales from Wiltshire, have combined forces with etiquette experts Debrett’s to come up with a book that walks you through the minefield of contemporary social etiquette. Thoroughly Decent Manners for Men (What Women Really Want) is an entertaining, wise and informative book for the modern man. It’ll help you deal with all those sticky situations – how do you tackle the first holiday together, how to get on with her female friends and who pays on the first date?
To purchase a copy of the book (£12.50 plus £2 p&p) simply telephone the Wadworth Visitor’s Centre on 01380 732277 or their online shop at www.wadworth.co.uk. Alternatively we’ve got ten copies to give away for anyone leaving a comment – tell us about your rudest moments…

My bloke could really do with this – he refuses to use a knife to eat his dinner, and instead hacks at it with the side of the fork!
my late father always said ….son always open a door for a lady and many doors will open for you,how right he was !!
I remember on a first date I was invited in for coffee. I requested de-caf which made me look a bit fussy. Luckily it became a ongoing date with here for the year or so that we were together!
My rudest moment was when I was at a birthday party down at our local. I had my 9 and 12 year old children with me, got a bit squiffy and my hubby and I did some VERY dirty dancing culminating in me flashing my almost bare behind (with thong) in front of my horrified kids!!
wish they could give this book to all men!
Hope i win, my husband needs some re-training
One of my pet peeves has to be people who talk with their mouth full… One time i was eating a scone though and it was so good i just had to say mmmmmm whilst eating it, and half the scone fell out my mouth lol.
I was so annoyed at myself for doing something i find so rude :P
My spoon slipped in a bowl of Blueberry Pie and the contents splattered on my host’s designer wallpaper. Never did become firm friends with them!
Why’s it always the men that are considered rude?
My SWMBO’s always yawning and coughing in public, never covering her mouth. I’ve asked her to stop for the past 18 years, has it succeeded …
Was at a wedding dinner when someone asked me if I was going to get married one day. Without thinking I just blurted out that I didn’t believe in marriage and it’s only a bit of paper! Oops.
I could do with this, I’m a pig :(
Having had several silly calls from a friend in a couple of minutes when the phone rang again I lifted it and said, “For goodness sake have you not got any work to do!”. It wasn’t my friend – it was the MD. He took it quite well.:-)
Many many moons ago, I sat down for my first Christmas dinner, with my now Ex and her family. Long story short, flatulence got the better of me with a fit of the giggles.
For awhile there, I was known as “machine gun Mike” to my friends.
You never realise how much you like good manners until you come across some oaf who doesn’t have them…
Would love to make my hubby read this book too!
I once went out with a man who would never open the door for a lady. I asked why and he said it’s because women moan too much and they don’t open doors for men so why should he. I would like for my son to get it right all the time- always make a good impression whether with the ladies, with friends or in work related situations. So please, may I have this book.
I once told my brother’s friend his dad had arrived to collect him and everything semeed to be normal until he said “Hi Mam”…
My hubby has the tendancy to say exactly what he thinks in any given situation. Although sometimes it’s nice to be honest, other times he just needs to learn when to keep quiet! Also I think it’s starting to rub off on me so we could both do with this book!
I went to a party, and got so drunk. I ended up peeing on the stage with my mates. Apparently none of that memories get registered in my head.
*the moment of shame* :(
Too many to mention
Being late for my friends…:(
I just posted on Facebook that my man never takes a hint. My mate replied that it was because I was rubbish at giving them so maybe leaving this book lying around might do the trick!
I think its best kept in my conscience and hall of shame..
