[QUOTE="Malika, post: 567317, member: 11227"] svengandhi, you forget that I am English - the nationality that can exchange two dozen pleases and thankyous during a single shop transaction and that will apologise to you if you poke them in the ribs in a crowded train (well, time was, anyway...) Alas, my resolution to give up on please and thank you with J lasted about an hour... for five years or so I have been saying to him "what's the magic word?" or pretending I can't hear until he says please. Maybe one time in 10 he will say it spontaneously... However, it appears I am genetically incapable of not reminding him when he doesn't :) [/QUOTE]
