Summary

The inimitable Francis Brennan shares his philosophy for life: spread a little sparkle dust and make the world a happier place

Have you ever wondered which fork to use when dining out? Or how to make the perfect cup of tea? If you've ever wanted to learn the correct etiquette for weddings, funerals and christenings, this is the book for you! Covering everything from gracefully handling office politics to what gifts to bring to a dinner party, this book will advise you on everything you need to lead a well-groomed and well-mannered life.

Francis Brennan, the hugely successful proprietor of the Park Hotel Kenmare and presenter of RTÉ's highly rated 'At Your Service' believes it's the little things in life that count the most. And by following his philosophy based on manners, etiquette and respect, he has built an extremely successful business and a very happy life.

With his signature charm and wit, Francis shares with you his personal code for living – including the correct way to position a toilet roll, and the direction in which your pillowcase should face!

Full of fun and personal memories, Francis will motivate you to pay attention to the small things that make a big difference.

'You get the feeling that if he ever called over to your house you'd have a totally delightful evening drinking tea with him, and although he might rearrange the cushions on your sofa and criticise your choice of hand soap, he'd do it so nicely you'd end up offering him all the fancy biscuits.'
Beaut.ie

'Wouldn't it be a great if restaurateurs got hold of Francis' book and doled it out to, ahem, deserving parents?'

    The law of the Supply and Demand is a vital concept and part of the economy of the world. This is a concept which is followed by every country and every place in order to make good progress in the product of the goods and services, in the fulfillment of the various demands of the consumers. It is an important aspect which shows the relationship between the various resources and the demands of those resources. The supply is also an important aspect of the production and manufacturing of goods and services. Any business is incomplete without the proper use and utilization of the supply and demand. There is a proper structure which is needed to be followed in order to understand the whole concept. This concept helps in gaining good profits to a company or business and at the same time, it takes care of the consumers and their needs.
