Quote:Everything from how to walk and talk, to setting a table correctly and dining with finesse, are being covered in a new raft of deportment classes.

The classes aim to boost the self-confidence of their young debutantes and show teenage girls that while less is more for make-up, the same can't be said for clothes.

They are also teaching a generation of mobile-phone addicted teens that switching off from their online worlds at the dinner table is basic manners.
