Manners are Important
DOs and DON'TS (Taboos)
in Britain
In Britain:
Do stand in line:
In England we like to form orderly queues (standing
in line) and wait patiently for our turn
Do take your hat off when you go indoors (men
only) It is impolite for men to wear hats indoors
especially in churches. Nowadays, it is becoming
more common to see men wearing hats indoors.
However, this is still seen as being impolite,
especially to the older generations.
Do say "Excuse Me":
If someone is blocking your way and you would like
them to move, say excuse me and they will move out
of your way.
Do Pay as you Go:
Pay for drinks as you order them in pubs and other
types of bars.
Do say "Please" and "Thank you":
It is very good manners to say "please" and "thank
you". It is considered rude if you don't. You will notice
in England that we say 'thank you' a lot.
Do cover your Mouth:
When yawning or coughing always cover your
mouth with your hand.
Do Shake Hands:
When you are first introduced to someone,
shake their right hand with your own right hand.
Do say sorry:
If you accidentally bump into someone, say 'sorry'.
They probably will too, even if it was your fault!
This is a habit and can be seen as very amusing
by an 'outsider'.
Do Smile:
A smiling face is a welcoming face. Do Drive
on the left side of the road
Do open doors for other people. Men and women
both hold open the door for each other. It depends
on who goes through the door first.
In Britain...
Do not greet people with a kiss: We only kiss
people who are close friends and relatives.
Avoid talking loudly in public
It is impolite to stare at anyone in public.
Privacy is highly regarded.
Do not ask a lady her age
It is considered impolite to ask a lady her age
Do not pick your nose in public:
We are disgusted by this. If your nostrils need de-bugging, use a handkerchief.
Avoid doing gestures such as backslapping
and hugging
This is only done among close friends.
Do not spit.
Spitting in the street is considered to be very
bad mannered.
Do not burp in public
You may feel better by burping loudly after eating or
drinking, but other people will not! If you can not stop
a burp from bursting out, then cover your mouth with
your hand and say 'excuse me' afterwards
Do not pass wind in public
Now how can we say this politely? Let's say that you
want to pass wind. What do you do? Go somewhere
private and let it out. If you accidentally pass wind in
company say 'pardon me'.
