About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
What is the correct way to queue at the bar? Why should we care about asking for people’s pronouns? 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.

Should be compulsory reading!
I don't expect to ever know the female version of white tie dressing but everything else can add a polish and elegance to everyday life.
Double entendre and humour throughout elevates it above a dry old etiquette book.

Lovely piece of writing and immaculately narrated
I absolutely loved this book. I have seen some etiquette videos of William online and got this book out of curiosity. I came out as a huge fan after listening to it. It was so well narrated and very informative. I think I’m gonna buy the book too

Excellent first class, long awaited book!
I have waited a long time for William (Mr Hanson) to be able to write and release this book, so that I could have the pleasure of listening to it. It did not disappoint and was worth the wait. I look forward to a further project in the future - maybe another one with Mr JVS? Highly recommend this audio book to anyone looking to learn about what it is to be British and the history of how that came about. Great fun and enjoyable, thank you.
