Where have peoples manners gone to ?

[loki]

I know this is going to make me sound a right old git but what has happened to peoples manners in public nowadays. I was out driving and just turned into a road where I stopped to give way to 3 cars coming through and not one acknowledged with a quick wave or flash of the lights. Now that's no big deal and certainly nothing to get your panties in a bunch about. It wasn't always like that though. Then in Tesco, people bump into you without either a sorry or whatever. It's like peoples public manners have gone out of the window. You feel as though your in the minority if you hold a door open for people nowadays. We can't always blame the kids and say they are bad mannered if we are not showing them a good example.

What an absolute stark contrast to when I have been to America and people are just well, better mannered.
