GentlemenSeen as a chivalrous nation which laid the law for gentlemanly conduct, a new research reveals that the average British male is losing his manners. A "disturbing" study has found that British males have lost their "impeccable" manners. According to the Daily Express, a survey found that a mere four percent of men would be willing to give up their seat to a pregnant woman. Around 46 percent of British males admitted spitting in the street. The study by internet sock retailer Socked.co.uk found only 40 percent males will hold a door open for a female.

Mark Hall, managing director of the company, said Britain needs to restore its reputation. "It's shameful that we have let our standards slip. Visitors from overseas associate Britain as a place filled with discerning gents with impeccable manners, but nothing could be further from the truth," Hall was quoted as saying.
