The poll of 3,000 people was carried out by the online gift store Me to You. According to the survey, two thirds of respondents believed Britain was a ‘rude’ nation and 84 per cent think others should make more of an effort to show appreciation. Four in ten admitted they did not send thank-you letters if they receive gifts through the post, and the same percentage would not make their children send one either.
