An excellent one - fresh homemade good ol' English scoff. Homemade Steak & Kid Pud, roasts with meat carved from the joint, proper puds including spotted dick. (and "specials" from time to time).
Great value - best in town.

No whooshing. At least not on my part...
I never knew anyone who tipped when i was in England. Admittedly I had barely left uni so no one had any money to go to restaurants other than the chippy and maccy d's.

The wife and I have always been super hot on this with the kids from as soon as they could talk, mainly because I don’t like being taken for granted in my own house!!!! We have 2 kids who are now polite by habit and it’s often mentioned, costs nothing and can go a long way.

I never tip for a take away
My mum is literally the most PC person going but still brought me up to have good manners and hold the door open for anyone. Trying to blame this on the "PC Brigade" is utter rubbish. However totally agree it is bad parenting as this is taught behaviour.
I've always found that loudness, aggressive behaviour and bad manners are so evident and whilst there are clearly seen & heard it doesn't always lead to them getting what they want. It staggers me that you would be discourteous or rude to anyone, but especially to someone you're relying on to cook or bring you food!
I take tremendous pride when I hear people saying "Your boys are good guys" etc etc, but I also make sure they know how I and other people feel about them, and that, in this day and age can be the missing link. Teaching good manners is, of course, important but recognising and praising good manners is vital for that to continue, it's the children that deserve the credit, in my opinion, not just the parents

I knew this thread would turn into users blowing their own trumpet about their own good manners.
Manners are not to be demanded, but commanded.

That's easy. A loud ' You're welcome' usually causes equal offence!

You really are missing a trick being coy about where you work. It could be filled with the politest North Stand Chatters you could ever wish to serve.

Every now and then on a long drive I'll somehow forget to wave thanks if I'm let through. I IMMEDIATELY feel AWFUL.
Yet, at work, I'll hold the door open for some people and they LOOK at me and don't say a word. I don't understand how it's even possible to not acknowledge someone who does that. I'd MELT with shame.

Just feel good about yourself. Be happy that you're the sort of person who would do that for another. If I do a good deed, I don't care what I get back in response, I'm just happy to be ab]le to help. After all, there's no gift like giving.
