I hope I didn't sound too much like a "victorian "parent with my post about table manners!I have a thing about table manners,waiting for everyone to start, no elbows on the table, not getting down til everyone finished etc etc.It is a pain reminding childen all the time but I think it stands them in good stead in later life , when who knows who they will be eating with...royalty maybe (well it happened to Kate Middleton) and I would hate for them to be embarrassed if they didn't know how to behave.
Just a big bug bear with me...they get away with murder at other times....lol!!!
