- 20-06-2012, 15:40 #54I've never been a gentleman. I did meet one once at the Garrick. He was standing in the doorway, in full evening dress - well dapper - so I handed him my coat, as one does to flunkies. He turned out to be King Constantine of Greece waiting for his car.

A quick glance at these gentlemen may enlighten those flummoxed by today's dress etiquette. Or not as the case may be.

Probably the compliment which gives me most pride was when a stripper at a stag do called me a gentleman, and she meant it*.
Of the various definitions of a gentleman my favourite is 'a man who will always use his butter knife, even when dining alone".
*To explain to those who require an explanation- it's easy to be a gentleman to a lady.
