When faced with a formal dinner setting, how many pieces of cutlery do you know how to use?
You know the difference between a teaspoon and a soup spoon and can bluff your way through everything else.
Dessert fork, parfait spoon, lobster pick, snail tongs… If you were invited to dinner with the Queen you'd be the one showing up HER table etiquette.
The only fancy cutlery you know how to use is the pair of chopsticks that comes with your takeaway chop suey.

How long does it usually take you to respond to an email from a friend?
Seconds
An hour or two
Weeks, months… sometimes years.

You're angry at someone. Fuming, in fact. You are so livid you are preparing to use a vulgar word to describe the depth of your fury. You open your enraged mouth, summon all your anger, and positively spit out the most profane phrase you can muster…
'Arsey arse arse'.
'Bleep - bleep - bleep'.
Cripes

There's a woman at your gym who consistently uses the treadmill for longer than her allocated fifteen minute slot. How do you approach her about it?
You'd rather speak to someone at reception about her blatant disregard for gymnasium regulations.
You engage her in lighthearted conversation, dropping in a casual, 'By the way, not sure if you're aware but the time limit on the treadmill is…'
You tap her on the shoulder mid-tread to tell her that her flouting of the rules is totally inconsiderate and while you're at it, that Westlife song she's always humming is driving you crazy.
5
Unsurprisingly, there's a long queue for the tube. When it arrives you…
Elbow as many people as possible out of your way so as not to miss it.
Stand aside for mothers with children and the disabled, and then 'excuse me… sorry… ' your way onto the train.
Let others off the tube first, wait for most of England to get on, then scramble on yourself in the nick of time.
