Subject: RE: BS: Local ideas of etiquette / politeness
Talking over or interrupting an adult when I was a child was considered very impolite and a big no no, I had to wait until the grown-ups had finished the conversation before saying anything. Children nowadays appear to chime in where and when they please which can be really off putting if you are trying to have a conversation.
But then so many adults talk over other adults too. Leading by example?
