Particularly when it came to dinner dates, if an issue of Woman's Own from the decade - uncovered by CupidSpeedDater.com - is anything to go by.

In a guide called "How To Behave In A Restaurant", the magazine advises its readers on the best ways to get through three courses without running face first into an etiquette disaster.

2. Never independently ask the waiter for anything.

3. Don't drop your knife.

4. If you do drop your knife ask the waiter for a new one - do NOT pick it up.

5. Don't order fruit - it's embarrassing.

6. Do order celery - it can be eaten "quite correctly" with the hands.

8. Wipe lipstick marks from your glass before leaving.
