Are good manners and chivalry dead?

Are good manners and chivalry dead?

But I am an optimist, and I am polite. Heck, I thank the toll taker for taking my money :)

A Guy

That really did make me smile. :)

Our youngest grandson, who will be 7 in a couple of weeks time was rather impolite to his Mum and I asked him where his manners were.

With an angelic look on his face, he said: "They're on holiday, Granddad!". I should be grateful that at least he's got some.

Thank you all for your responses so far to what is proving to being an entertaining thread. Mustn't forget my manners now! ;)

The belligerence of the internet-anonymity 'bravery' is finding its way into real life perhaps?
