Analysis and comments on How To Get On In Society by John Betjeman

Comment 1 of 1, added on April 21st, 2005 at 12:29 PM.

A wonderful poem. Incidentally, the reference to "fish-knives" is an interesting historical novelty. Fish knives were only invented in the latter part of the 19th century and so to have them showed that you had (horror of horrors) bought you cutlery, rather than having inherited it.

David Griffiths from United Kingdom
