How to be the perfect house guest09 Apr 2004
As thousands travel across the country with their overnight bags bursting at the seams, Woman's Hour considers the delicate business of how to be the perfect house guest.

When you're invited for the weekend do you stay a month? Do you help yourself to the contents of the winerack when your hostess has gone to bed? And do you insist on bringing your favourite pet, Fluffy, along with you?

Martha is joined by host extraordinaire Charita Jones, owner and chef at Momma Cherri's in Brighton and Drusilla Beyfus, author of Modern Manners to discuss what qualities are looked for in the perfect house guest.
