Good table manners have become a thing of the past, as traditional sit-down meals are ditched in favour of TV dinners, it's been claimed, after it was found that a quarter of people now believe table manners are no longer important.
44% of people say they start to eat their food before others arrive at the table, while 38% regularly answer phone calls while they are eating. 33% of those polled also admitted to not thinking twice before stealing food off other people's plate and 10% never say please or thank you during meal times.
Another one-in-ten people also claim they regularly wear headphones to dinner.
Says it all. How dismal, is that? :-(
