January 2021 - Manners Please Dearest

After enjoying his Talk about the Weird and Wonderful World of the Law last January, we were all delighted that David Allen agreed to step in at the last minute and give us a talk entitled Manners Please Dearest in lieu of the party which we regretfully postponed because of the Covid situation. And what a talk! David had us on our feet taking part and thoroughly enjoying ourselves. I would not have believed it if I had not seen it with my own eyes and indeed been drawn in to take part myself! We attended a Victorian school for young ladies and Gentlemen and are now thoroughly informed about the Does and Don’ts of Courtship, calling cards, dinner party etiquette and the mysterious language of the fan…

Here are a couple of the comments I received:- What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! What fun it was!! He is a really clear speaker…Everyone joined in!

We will certainly ask him again!
