Outta My Way, Jack

On the roads, in restaurants, in movie theatres, on NDTV's The Big Fight or while driving, the average inhabitant of this country is spitting, shouting, talking loudly on the cellphone, jumping queues, interrupting conversations, switching lanes, burping or simply scratching his crotch (if he's a he) and staring rudely at all and sundry.

Such people need to get hold of Lynne Truss' forthcoming book, entitled Talk To The Hand, a cry for civility and manners in an ungentlemanly world. If practical, zero-tolerance measures are suggested, one is going to adopt them at once. If you don't mind, Sir.
