When in the States in the last couple of weeks , I noticed how incredibly polite all of the students were that I met. All without exception referred to you as ‘Sir’ or ‘Professor’ , even though you were just visiting their institution. But in Southern Society as a whole there still seems to be a residue of the old traditions of courtesy. People don’t just barge though it’s ‘excuse me Ma’am’ etc…..Courtesy is a matter of expectation : unfortunately in the UK today that is very hit and miss- although in the HMC schools (leading Public Schools) you will still, thankfully, find a traditional standard almost without exception.
