A survey has shown that British manners are worse than they were ten years ago, according to a survey carried out for ITV1’s Tonight With Trevor Macdonald programme.
A third of those questioned believed bad manners were responsible for anti-social behaviour.
“I could Buster Bloodvessel,” said one bald-headed chap, as a passing youth shouted “Lip up, fatty!”
Some, however, believed the causes lay elsewhere.
“It’s complete madness,” said one gentleman to whom we raised our hat in the street. “Just look at all these baggy trousers. Right outside our house, in the middle of our street. It’s not a joke shop.”
Others said that splodgenessabounds in Britain nowadays.
“People used to ask for two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please,” said a little old lady we helped across a busy road. “But I see in my Radio Times that apparently it’s just two pints of lager and a packet of crisps nowadays. Where’s the courtesy gone? The country’s full of rude boys.”
