William Hanson - Just Good Manners

Have you ever wondered how to peel a banana with a knife and fork? Or the correct way to stir your tea? Or how best to eat a creme brulee? One man has the answers to all these delicate etiquette questions and many more. William Hanson is an internet sensation, his reels on Instagram regularly going viral. More than 11 million people, for example, nowknow that its not OK to dunk a bread roll in your soup. And 12.5million people have watched Hanson demonstrate how to eat a sausage roll.
Hanson manages to combine dry, Julian Clary campness with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Britains customs and courtesies. His day job is director of the English Manner, a leading etiquette training institute, where he advises on gracious living and polite behaviour. He also co-hosts a comedy podcast, Help I Sexted My Boss, with the DJ Jordan North. Unlikely bedfellows, perhaps, but last year they hosted a sell-out live tour, which included the London Palladium.
Hanson will be talking about his latest book, Just Good Manners, in which he offers advice on everything from how to queue at the bar to whether to say pudding or dessert. As the books dedication says, When in Rome, do as the British do.
