What are the interesting cultures and customs in Britain?

Because of Britain's special geographical position, their weather is capricious and inexplicable. Whether in movies, novels or in reality, Britain always gives people the feeling that they have to take an umbrella when going out. This also derived their unique meteorological culture. Basically, when we meet, we should say hello about the weather, which is similar to asking "Have you eaten?" Have the same meaning.

2. Road culture

Even if you ask for directions, most British people will give you directions in detail and even give you a feeling of "talking a lot", although they may all answer your questions with a serious face. Go straight here, turn left, and then go straight to the second fork. Yes, after one stop, you will see a fork in the road, then turn right and walk for about 200 meters. You will see a lively bar, and then turn right 100 meters.

This may also have a lot to do with the British gentleman tradition.

3. Tipping culture

Tipping itself originated in London in the18th century. Generally speaking, it means that consumers give cash beyond the rated remuneration to service personnel to express your reward, affirmation and gratitude to service personnel. Nowadays, this kind of tipping is not only an extra act, but also a culture.

4. Convention customs

When we meet for the first time in China, apart from being a very formal occasion, the relationship between work and workplace is just a handshake, which is usually just a colloquial greeting, while when the British meet for the first time, they usually shake hands. Except for men and women in love, most people walk without holding hands. British people don't like others to interfere in their private lives.

When you visit an Englishman, you must knock at the door first, and you can't go in until he says "come in". Gentlemen should take off their hats when entering the room, but women don't have to take off their hats indoors.

British people like to go to bars to drink after work.

Every place has its own customs, just like in our fixed impression, Cantonese people like to drink morning tea in restaurants. The English name of the bar is Pub, and the origin of Pub has a history. A thousand years ago, British farmers liked to make their own wine, but later they felt that they didn't drink enough and moved out to sell it. In order to attract customers, they put up signs outside. Because farmers can't write, there are no words on the sign, only patterns.

There are many bars with a long history in Britain, where many writers and artists linger for inspiration. Each bar has a different design, representing a very different legend.

6. The national stone of Britain is diamond.

Nowadays, many young people buy diamond rings when they get married, representing eternal love. In fact, the concept of diamond is said to have come from abroad. Men like to use diamonds to represent their decisions and courage.

Women, on the other hand, are willing to compare their holiness and nobility with diamonds. The British have long regarded diamonds as tokens between men and women. With the rise of the British Empire, this custom was quickly adopted by the western world and spread to the East.
