About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

What is the correct way to queue at the bar? And why exactly do the English say sorry so much?

No one makes such a fuss about manners quite as much as the UK, yet in a fast-changing world, no one can seem to agree on precisely what the ‘done thing’ is, either. William Hanson, world-leading etiquette expert is on a mission to reclaim the British crown of good manners. In Just Good Manners, he shares his definitive guidance on how to behave in every situation - as well as celebrating our country’s distinctively British way of doing things!

With the perfect dose of William’s inimitable dry humour, Just Good Manners is the indispensable modern guide to British etiquette and customs – from table manners to top hats.

Much love from the Colonies. Educational, entertaining, full of wonderfully crafted ‘pas-ag’ I wouldn’t last a minute before being soundly vaporised but what fun.If I was shopping for a son, you’d be top of the list William Hanson. Don’t stop!

Rippalicious!

If you enjoy William’s wit as much as his etiquette intellect, you are going to love this book. As someone not from the upper echelons of society, I found this book fascinating, particularly in understanding the origins of etiquette practices and how that influences what we do today. It highlights that etiquette is all about inclusivity rather than classism, and I could listen to William’s lovely narration voice all day!

Classic William Hanson

I loved the blend of humour, history, and advice in this book - it was a joy to listen to! The author’s reading was excellent and very engaging, with wonderful intonation that added humour and depth. Easy to see why the author has done well as a podcaster, and my next task is to seek out and listen to the podcast!
I’m Australian and I love visiting the UK, I would recommend this book to anyone headed to the UK who wants to better understand the culture and avoid faux pas, or to anyone who just has an interest in having good manners and respecting fellow humans.

Thoroughly enjoyable!
