From Russell England, Director 'Cutting Edge':-

RECENTLY I suggested that Britain was becoming a ruder society. But perhaps good manners are truly the British Disease - a feeble substitute for sincerity which gets in the way of frank and open communication.

I would like to hear from any readers who believe that courtesy and good manners are a thing of the past and that directness, honesty and even rudeness are the most effective way of being heard and getting what one wants.

Please contact me at the address below for a forthcoming Channel Four Television documentary.
