In days long gone from my Scottish homeland, my mother preached, to me and my siblings, never to enter a restaurant where the tables didn't display a white tablecloth and proper settings, and never, never to eat in any establishment where sauce bottles and condiments were left on the table. Social graces from another era and which I no longer uphold, unless at fine dining establishments, but I do have now have one edict of my own, not to eat in places where there are fat food servers. My earlier traditional behaviour has lapsed but not so my older sister, visiting me from the UK last year we were set to dine in a fine room when she noticed the young teenager, in a family at the next table, was wearing a baseball cap. In matronly fashion she asked hime to remove it and scolded the parents for allowing it. My wife and I were looking for an escape route but I suddenly realized that I too was offended by the lack of social grace being shown by this ill-mannered young man and I thought good for her, good upbring always shines through.
