Letters: Office habits die hard

The column “Standing instructions” (Swot, May 10) was interesting and informative. In government offices, too, there was no distinction between men and women standing up when a senior walked in. But at house parties, the ladies did not have to get up. In the event, nobody followed this distinction and ladies did stand up when a senior officer walked into a house party because they could not forget the office relationship!
