I'll be honest here Gilda. As I said earlier, even I have come to the terms that I don't expect chivalry, but when it does come (like in my story of my purse) I find it so refreshing!
And it's not only that. Any type of curtesey, seems to almost wake you up from a dull sleep. And you know what? It's almost like a surprise. A gift given without asking for it.
Common curtesey should be that. A gift given without the giver asking for it.
I'm going to rest now. I think I've pretty much ran this one word in the ground!
G' KNIGHT folks!
Hehehehe...
