Yep. I would never read someones private mail... it just seems a massive invasion of privacy and abuse of trust. The letter was opened, but in a envelope... not that, that makes a difference. If I was at a girls house, and her bank statement was on the table... even in full view, I wouldn't read it. Without respect of privacy, we learn terrible truths we'd have been happier not knowing.

Indeed I have seen young ladies buy their partner a drink at a bar which is very alien to me. In my day it was just the 'Done thing' that the male bought the drinks. If you took a girl to a cocktail bar this could work out quite expensive but then you went there knowing it would hit you in the pocket. All very different these days generally - I have seen couples out and they are on their phones not even talking to one another ! Probably texting each other !!!! Edited by Willo (15 Mar 2017 2.23pm) Feminism and the modern world innit. No harm in it, and no harm in the old way either, like holding doors open for people and helping old ladies with their shopping. Some traditions are alright, but I know of people for whom paying is all about 'getting something in return' and they'll leverage that.

I'm like that with Christmas presents but I keep my anger bottled up when I spend £25 on my sister and she just gets me 6 bottles of Beck's Blue which I know were on offer for £4.

Basic manners and being treated like a lady go a long way. Pulling the chair out in a restaurant, holding the door open. Little things. Someone who makes a big deal of these things can be unattractive. Should be done very subtly. Key thing is if you are a man who likes to pay for drinks and meals etc then please don't throw it back in said ladies face at a later date. That's just plain nasty Bang on with basic manners,I do that as a matter of course,and taught my children the same manners cost nothing.

That's just plain nasty Finally a woman that appreciates that. I pulled a chair out from under a girl in a restaurant and she got huffy because apparently she could've broken her back.

You could have saved a bit more money by just stapling a cat to an old coat of hers, she would have been none the wiser

That's just plain nasty I am happy to admit that I never resorted to such "Throwing" whilst I was in my pomp.Paid for drinks as that was the thing to do back in my day so never expected anything in return for my generosity.

That's just plain nasty I agree, basic manners are awesome. Like opening doors, giving up ya seat on trains, not reading people's mail.

Shirt potatoes PTJ I have heard of most of these but some are new to me.Certainly wasn't the parlance when I was in my pomp.How times have changed - heard there are even some of the modern words now in the 'Oxford English Dictionary'.

I hate Christmas, as I tend to buy my family really good gifts and they clearly show they have little to no idea about me and my wife, by giving us something we'd just chuck in the bin. One year I gave my sister a brand new DVD player and a three night stay in a 5* hotel with spa and pampering and I got a framed picture of her new born and Christmas dinner at hers (which was great).
