had lunch with some posh rich people and was surprised to see the 'pen hold' being implemented by many.

I would love a manners thread.
Is it me or are kids not learning how to use cutlery properly anymore (work in boarding school see lots and lots of kids eating) or decent table manners?
Don't want to offend anyone, but it seems that the older generations were more practiced in this art.
