Can I reasonably expect my 18 mo daughter to say please and thankyou with any consistency?

Nope.

my 18 month old still has no words so definitely wouldn't be understanding please and thank you!

no.

No. Ds2 (almost 4) still needs prompting. Ds1 has just about got the hang of it...he's nearly 9

Keep prompting, yes - but she'll be forgetting for a long time yet.

in a word - No

DS2 is now 22 months, and is only just 'talking' - haven't managed to get a "thankyou", "ta" "thanks" or anything similar out of him AT ALL yet, and nowhere near on "please" either,
