Nothing wrong in saying sorry, better by far to be too polite rather than impolite. It is nice to live in a country where people still offer their seats to those less able to stand on public transport, where it's still occasionally permissible to smile at strangers and say good morning without being condemned as a lunatic, where old ladies thank you if you hold a door open for them. I am sorry but those that have bad manners are the ones I would object to rather than those who are too ready to say sorry. |
