It may have been been a scorcher yet again this week, but that’s no excuse to lose control. In today’s Poshcast Cleo and Sophia tackle the thorny issue of table manners.What matters, these days, and what doesn’t? Do we care about elbows on the table anymore, or is that a fusty old Victorian throwback? Is it deeply common to clink glasses and say ‘cheers?’ From which body part should you eat caviar, and is it ever acceptable to have your phone beside your plate?Plus they answer a question from a nervous young listener who’s off on holiday with her boyfriend’s parents for the first time and wants to make a good impression (no bawdy chipolata jokes).They may not have the answer to all Britain’s problems, but Sophia and Cleo can offer strong opinions on knives and napkins —&nbsp;what further encouragement do you need to watch The Poshcast?You can watch The Poshcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/mbuXBuO_5sESend your questions to theposhcast@telegraph.co.ukHeight shouldn’t matter when it comes to matters of the heart, Sophia Money-Coutts: <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/relationships/sophia-money-coutts-height-shouldnt-matter-affairs-of-heart/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/relationships/sophia-money-coutts-height-shouldnt-matter-affairs-of-heart/</a>Video Producer: Carla MercerSocial Editor: Alex MarshallExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsHighlights: <ul><li>Phones besides plates, elbows on the table and clinking coupes</li><li>The Poshcast guide to table manners</li></ul>Chapters:00:00 Welcome to The Poshcast01:03 Punctuality Rant03:15 Airbnb Interior Nightmares05:58 Height Lies on Dating Apps09:38 Toilet Break Film Debate11:11 Clink or Not to Clink13:23 Champagne Glass Rules15:08 Miffers Controversy16:44 Napkins and Cutlery Etiquette21:27 Bread Roll Etiquette23:51 Asparagus and Pear Protocol24:47 Meghan Markle and Pud Debate27:10 Bathroom Breaks during Meals29:19 Salt Pepper and Passing Port32:39 Phones and Bags at Table34:56 Napkin Rings36:18 Holiday With Boyfriend's Family41:31 Final Tips and Sign Off<hr> Hosted on Acast.
