Manners cost nothing... Manors tend to be up in the £millions.

It's nice to be important but important to be nice.

If it moves and it shouldn't, gaffa tape. If it doesn't move and it should, WD40.

that's how I live my life
Goody I could do with a nice big house!

and you are right though manners have all but disappeared

edit - damn beaten too it!

Look after the manners and the manors will look after themselves (my one and only spelling mistake since I joined the forum... not bad )

I park where I like... and I'm surprised if anyone asks me for ID, just look at me. I've been looking about 40 since I was 12 and still have 8 years to go.

It depends how full the carpark was, but if there is dedicated bike parking, its a bit rude parking in a car space ...

Its a bit like parking in a 'mother and child' space in your car if you don't have a kid with you ... nothing stopping you and I suppose you have just as much 'right' as a mum ... but its a bit rude isn't it

Feck the mothers I hear you say {no pun intended } ... well yeah, then feck the car drivers!!

if there is dedicated bike parking and it isn't full then yes it would be silly to park in a car space...(bored with this now )

see my previous post

As a customer and an employee I tend to treat others as I would like to be treated myself and I do so. 9 times out of ten I will get the well mannered response I am looking for but there is always a minority who I just want to throttle!!!
