Doing the Right Thing in Britain

1. When you stop a stranger in the street to ask for directions, start by saying ‘Excuse me…’ When you want to get past people, say ‘Excuse me…’ and they will move out of your way. And you should say ‘Please’ when you ask for something, and say ‘Thank you’ when people give you something.
2. Look friendly. Smile when you talk to people in shops, restaurants and on public transport, and they will probably smile back.
3. Don’t sit or stand too close to people you don’t know. British people don’t often touch each other, and usually say ‘Sorry’ when they touch someone by mistake. And when there are several empty seats in a public place, people usually sit away from other people.
4. Don’t ask personal questions like ‘How old are you?’, ‘How much do you weigh?’ or ‘Are you married?’ You can talk about the weather (always exciting!), or recent TV programmes, or football matches.
5. Make an appointment to see someone before you go to their home. It’s unusual to call on someone when they aren’t expecting you.
6. You mustn’t talk with your mouth full of food — wait until you have finished eating before you speak. And don’t eat food off your knife.
