Like elbows off the table or use a knife

This sounds like a couples comedy from the 70s starting Sid James.

I use my cutlery correctly, fork in left hand etc..
I consciously eat with my mouth closed.
I don't put elbows on the table.
Don't have my phone at the table unless I'm eating alone.
I always say please and thank you, even if it's just asking for water to be passed over.
