That would be my take on it........... however, I do it because I like the noises my car makes on a closed throttle!
I do it because I like to keep my H&T game strong. 
As mentioned though, outdated and unnecessary.
I used to argue for changing down through the gears, but then it was pointed out that if you find yourself rushing to select a gear to pull away after braking it just means your observation is s
t.As for advice:
If she's not rich make sure she can cook.
Don't buy French or Fiat.
There's no such thing as fighting dirty. If someone's trying to hurt you, aim for the soft bits.
If you need to bury a body, dig a vertical grave, not a horizontal one. Leaves a lot less disturbed ground and it is much harder to find a body buried vertically.
Threesomes are never worth it in the long run.

If someone asks you to do a job for them and tells you that it'll only take you five minutes...rest assured, it will not take you five minutes. It will take you two days. Tell them to eff off and do it themselves.
Or quote them £10 per five minutes?alfie2244 said:

Engine braking is far more efficient I can't imagine why on earth you would coast in neutral. Less control over the car?
I to am of the era where I go down the gears to slow the car then brake at the end if need be. I was told now you are told to brake and not go down the gears, so possibly some are told to put it in neutral. The reason being, if you go down the gears without touching the brakes the car behind has no indication your slowing down as the brake lights don’t come on. Well I’ve been doing it for 20 years and no one has gone into the back of me yet!

You don't need to coast in neutral or with the clutch disengaged, you would just remain in gear (say 4th) until the last minute then dip the clutch as you come to a halt. Of course, you should be continually evaluating the situation and if things change you simply select the appropriate gear and carry on.
It's called acceleration sense. It's not particularly difficult although you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise going by how most of the population seem to drive.
