Are you planning to visit the UK in the near future? Since every country has its own set of dos and don’ts, it’s
worthwhile to find out just what it means to be polite before getting on that plane. Here are a few of important
rules of behaviour.
If you are meeting someone for the first time, extend a hand to say hello. Britons greet each other with firm
handshakes. Hugs are rare, but kissing on the cheek is not unusual between friends or relatives. Also, it is important
to make eye contact while speaking with someone; otherwise you will seem rude or insincere. Use titles, such as Dr
Smith or Mr Norris, to show respect, unless someone invites you to use their first name. Address a woman as Ms (as
in Ms Banks) if you aren’t sure if she is married or not.
When Brits ask how you are, they don’t expect a long reply about your recent headaches or your sore throat.
“How are you?” is a typical greeting that asks for a simple answer such as “I’m fine.” You may compliment a person
on their new haircut or shirt, but never tell someone that they look tired or unwell unless you are really afraid that
they may be ill. Don’t ask someone how much money they make or how much money they’ve spent on something.
Also, never talk loudly on a mobile phone in public and be aware that taking a phone call during mealtimes is
considered to be extremely rude.
Sharing a meal with Brits shouldn’t be a stressful event. Nevertheless, there are a few things to remember
when you find yourself at a dinner table. If someone invites you over for a meal, bringing a small gift, like flowers, is
a nice token of thanks. Make sure to arrive on time and if you must be late, call your host to apologise. Always wait
until everyone has food in front of them before you start eating and remember to keep your elbows off the table.
Also, it is very important to keep your mouth closed while chewing; Brits think talking with a mouth full of food is
rude and disgusting. If you eat in a restaurant, expect to pay your waiter a tip that is 10 percent of the bill, but not if
the service is second rate.
1. If you don’t know someone very well, you should greet them with _______________________________________ .
2. When you are asked how you are, don’t talk too much about ___________________________________________ .
3. Never ask Brits questions about their financial matters, e.g. how much money they ___________________________
or __________________________.
4. Thank your hosts for inviting you for dinner by bringing _________________________________________________.
5. If you are satisfied with the service in the restaurant, give the waiter ______________________________________ .
