Excited? Y...This is a great post and it excited me. Excited? Yes exactly that. I remember well the tradition of coming to a standstill, men removing their hats and everyone silent when a cortege passed by. Some people still do this in the UK but these days, except for in the country, men rarely wear hats. Trilbys on the race course and flat caps in villages. I was brought up in the age of opening doors for others and giving your sear up on a bus, for an older person. Those traditions were handed down to my children but I have been known to loudly make the remark whilst they held doors open for others, 'you'll stand there all day without a thank you if you continue'. It is so disheartening to watch your children do the things they were taught only to have them ignored. There are some real morons out there who will let a door swing in your face - happened to me at the bank on Friday, people who ignore you when you hold a door open for them etc...the sad thing is that it is normally the older people who behave this way. No manners.The Blog of Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00650938872732748697noreply@blogger.com
