when corona is gone I will have perfect manners that William Hanson taught me during quarantine

2:52 the best part...
That laugh... so natural... no etiquette right there ... 🤣👌

[@meaneyedcat1248]

As always, a great presentation from Mr Hanson. And a reminder that, even in the Covid-times, we may make things more pleasant with attention to little details such as how we dine. My Mother always said that good manners and refinement should be "like a second skin".

[@victoriacottone9772]

Etiquette is gone away when he laughs hahahaha it is so contagious 🤣🤣

[@HolandaChiquita]

I'm really happy that my parents taught me these simple manners when I was growing up. I think that I understand the reasoning of them a little better now.

[@Ymer85]

In Denmark we always put our knife and fork in a slight angle, as you show when talking about it being a sign of having finished. We do so both to show we are done eating, but also to ease the clearing for the person doing so. Having the knife and fork there when you’re out dining, makes it easy for the waiter to clear the plate without the knife and fork accidentally sliding around. At least that is what I’ve been taught throughout my childhood. 😊

Thank you William, these videos are most helpful.

[@ShayShayChardonnay]

I work in restaurants and I wish more Americans knew the last bit! *SO* many people put their silverware in the "finished" position, then tell me they're not done, or won't let me clear their plate 😂

[@teecee3441]

Pleasing as always...love the Blunders at the end.

[@argonwheatbelly637]

What a lovely laugh

[@victoriabiel5861]

I noticed that there's no tablecloth on your table. Growing up I remember my mother always putting a tablecloth on the table. Is it appropriate to leave the table exposed like that? Do you risk damaging the wood?

[@CC-my2nt]

Just speaking from personal experience: If someone has a nice wooden table they will sometimes leave it exposed as it is visually appealing. However, wooden tables can be damaged and require some maintenance work (might need to be "shaved down" if there is severe damage, apart from that the table might need to be treated with oil or a coating from time to time). In finer dining situations most hosts will tend to use table cloths though.

[@johnconstable8512]

if you have a beautiful table, you can use place mats, just like he did. if the table is ugly, definitely use withe linen

[@i.o.3563]

Mr. Hanson, thanks for tips. I have a question, if I may. How to properly eat croissants? Some of them are rather sticky and not too comfortable bo be eaten with hands.

[@ZaneCastro100]

Thank You Sir William!

[@johnconstable8512]

i love the fact that you use and iphone and an apple watch

[@adrianghandtchi1562]

If the last dinning guest is very late or doesn’t show up, does that mean that the guests do not eat at all?

[@amrutsolanki2621]

Make More vedio my dear. Love from India ❤️

[@taraconstruction5796]

Nice

[@CarolEscher]

[@Fyrhp]

I learnt this in school! I wonder if kids these days are still taught manners xD

[@bellatrixpark94]

Is your phone still alive.. ? 😳😂😂

[@RoseMary-vs3io]

👌👍

[@austere_kore]

Don't throw phones like that. Gives me a heart attack 😄

[@johnconstable8512]

2:35 well, in an angle would make life easier for the staff to collect your plate. and since there are a knife with a fork, i would put the fork prongs down

[@ambrosejoseph4843]

I need to brush up.

[@brunx4985]

[@daba7794]

Why don't you say something about moving your fork and knife from one hand to another one? It's so annoying...:(
