My father was a stickler for table manners and although it annoyed me intensely to be told to get my elbows off the table as a child I'm so glad it's second nature to me now. I remember my cousin came over from America and his son didn't take off his baseball hat during Sunday lunch. My children were looking daggers at him as they knew they wouldn't be getting away with it! I'm afraid my dear old dad would have 'corrected' your daughter's boyfriend, as he did with his younger colleagues in the staff canteen - "the fork, dear boy, is for eating one's peas, not scratching one's head" was one of his favourites!
