Since 1990, Philip Howard has presided over The Timess' wildly popular 'Modern Manners' column, answering readers' questions on contemporary etiquette and acting as confidant and gleeful guide to those attempting to navigate the minefield of manners. In this exuberant collection, the author offers solutions to such modern mysteries as: Should you always take a gift to a dinner party and, when you are there, should you turn off your mobile phone? How do you get rid of unwanted guests without causing offence? When should you not boo the opposition team's national anthem at an international football match? How do you correctly pour champagne without looking like a wine snob? Why should you never change your vest at a classical music recital? How do you tell your neighbours about the mess their pet has made of your garden, without starting a fight? Witty, informative and often hilarious, Modern Manners is the perfect companion piece to life in the twenty-first century.
