I had to go to Manchester today on my way home .I went to the tram station in Manchester Piccadilly I was exhausted .I saw my tram was going to be late on the message board so I got on the tram to media city and thought I can have a sit down on this tram and sit on the platform at media  city untill My tram comes.  I entered the tram and sat in front of a young woman who was on the phone she spoke very elequently and when asked about a certain topic she said you know I'm not  allowed  to comment on that .even the person persevered trying to get information out of her ,she said you know I'm not allowed to discuss it  On leaving the tram I stopped the young lady and said excuse me did you have private education (which is what I thought she must have done to speak that articulate and polite) she smiled and said yes .I then said well it was money well worth spent as you talk like a lady she smiled and said thank you and we parted

Then I thought I would walk the rest of the way  home as it's only 2stops but I was still exhausted and saw my tram in the distant.i waited untill it arrived it was empty and it was full. There was no where to sit even the disabled and elderly seats were all took up by fit young people .I was only going 2 stops  and if any one would have offered me their seat I would have declined
They didn't know I was only going 2 stops and not a single one offered me theirs .
Just before I got off I pretended I was on a phone which was my hand up to my ear .I shouted on the pretend  phone so all the tram could hear .I  shouted is that you miss Roberts my art teacher from years ago .Do you remember when you used to drum your saying into me MANNERS MAKETH THE MAN .I then shouted well you want to come on the tram and knock it into them.aI then hung up my pretend phone .

Manners Maketh The Man ' (Or Woman, cue Life Of Brian sketch), I couldn't agree more .
When I see good manners , I see a person who has consideration for others .

I'm often bad mannered myself . I had a little tete e tete , with a bus driver the
other day during which I loudly swore , but I didn't apologise to any of my fellow
passengers , which I should have done . I did apologise to the bus driver though
when I got off the bus .

Bad manners in children is of course understandable and forgivable but adults really
should know better .

I think many people don't mean to be bad mannered , their simply living in their own
little word .

Do not despair do wah. We are not all like that. There are still manners to be found out there.
