All nations in the world perceive differently. Often these are opinions based on rather strange, but historically established stereotypes, such as, for example, bears with balalaikas on Russian streets. However, there is a grain of truth in every such opinion about the Russian or any other people.

Representatives of different nations behave in a certain way, visiting other countries during business trips, vacations, studies and for other reasons. Thanks to communication with people from another country or rumors from those who had the pleasure of communicating with them, locals form a certain opinion about foreigners. I wonder what the British, perceived by us as tolerant, reserved and prudish, think about Russians?

The character of a Russian person through the eyes of an Englishman

Most people in the world, and the inhabitants of England are no exception, know Russia and its inhabitants thanks to figures of culture, art, science, politics and sports. Naturally, the elite of society does not create general idea about the people, but the contribution of Russians to world history and culture is appreciated by the majority of average Englishmen.

The British perceive Russian people as smart, but lazy, talented, but careless.. Very often, the same qualities that seem unacceptable to them become an advantage in joint work. By Western standards, people in Russia could achieve much more if they applied more effort and were more responsible.

But on the other hand, it is precisely this slovenliness that to some extent allows solving problems that are insoluble for a different mentality. The ability to solve problems, considering them from an unusual angle, is perceived as a purely Russian trait.

The ability to laugh at their own problems is not alien to the British themselves, in Russians they also highlight this quality. Also, in their perception, our peoples are related by criticism of their own country, ridiculing their habits and character traits, however, if a foreigner does this, this is perceived by both the British and Russians with hostility.

Thanks to Orthodox religion, widespread in our country, Russians are perceived as sacrificial, strong, persistent, understanding and forgiving. Many Londoners point out that the plan moral values Russia has gone far ahead.

Russians in England are considered witty, although the English humor is far from ours, generous, although this generosity and the so-called willingness to give the last shirt borders more on imprudence and naivety.

The opinion of the British about the behavior of Russians

Many nations, including the British, present Russians as some kind of barbarians. To those things that cause indignation in the whole world, Russians for some reason are detached. In the eyes of the British, Russians are insensitive to any manifestations of violence, rudeness, discomfort, lack of choice.

The British believe that the Russian people are ignorant, rude, prone to violence.

Also, they consider the drunkenness of the Russian nation to be a manifestation of barbarism.. As far as one can believe the stereotype that has developed in England, a Russian person, in order to get rid of problems and all the surrounding troubles, consumes alcohol in huge quantities.

Even those people who only celebrate positive traits Russian acquaintances always point out that a representative of Russia can drink a huge amount of alcohol, knowing that he will experience not the most pleasant symptoms in the morning.

Another description that is often used by the British to characterize the behavior of Russians in business area, is hospitality along with recklessness.

The British, who adhere to such behavior as waiting for an invitation before visiting even relatives, or the desire to protect their private life from the eyes of strangers, sincerely do not understand how Russians can invite someone to visit after a week of acquaintance to introduce them to their family. , or pop in for tea without prior notice.

Russian girls are perceived by the British as more faithful, honest and family-oriented. The beauty of the female sex in Russia has also been noted more than once by representatives of the strong half of humanity.

Another feature that the British notice is the ability to defend one's position, express one's opinion, the ability to stand up for oneself. This is manifested in communication with friends, and in the working atmosphere, even with bosses.

The British, who, out of necessity or at will, often communicate with Russians, note that in Russia, as everywhere in the world, all people are different, and each person has his own special opinion, his own life principles and different behaviour.

Someone is a believer and goes to church weekly, someone is nostalgic for the collapsed USSR, someone is set to develop according to the Western example, and someone is not at all interested in news in their country and in the world.

Each person can behave differently every day, as, in principle, the British themselves. But the Russians do not have as many conventions as the British have.

By the way, the opinions of people who communicate with Russians in Great Britain itself, and people who visit Russia and deal with them here, differ somewhat. Probably, like the behavior of Russians, less restrained and civilized in their own country.

The British in England first of all note the responsiveness of Russians, their desire to help, friendliness and sociability. The British, who have visited Russia, note the aggression and discontent that constantly accompany Russians in ordinary life, rudeness in communication with the attendants, intemperance and familiarity in relations.

The national character is tenacious in all peoples. But this applies to no other people more than to the English. The first and most obvious feature of this nation is the stability and constancy of character of its constituent individuals. They are less susceptible to the influence of time, transient fashions than others.

The curiosity of the English allowed them to get acquainted with the best of what other peoples have, and yet they remained true to their traditions. While admiring French cuisine, an Englishman will not imitate it at home. Being the embodiment of conformism, the British at the same time retain their individuality.

It cannot be said that the English have never changed. Changes are constantly taking place, but these differences, so visible externally, do not affect nations. The primordial features of the English nature still remain a kind of common denominator, have a profound influence on national character and general lifestyle.

The British demonstrate moderation and restraint in behavior and in public life they are not prone to extremes. They prefer to stick to the golden mean. "BUT. Herzen cited the words of an Englishman explaining to a Frenchman the difference between the two nationalities: “You see, you are hotly eating your cold veal, and we are cold-bloodedly eating our hot steak.”

Conservatism in public life is the next feature of the English national character. The British themselves note that they think about the past better than about the future. The English “hardly believe in innovations, patiently endure many temporary delusions; deeply and forever sure of the greatness that is in the Law and Customs, once solemnly established and long recognized as just and final.

It is to English conservatism that the British owe their complex, mispronounced spelling, left-hand traffic, the fierce defense of the pound against the introduction of the euro, and the maintenance of their many traditions. The preservation of the monarchy and universal love for royal family- also a tribute to English conservatism.

The British are exceptionally law-abiding, the researchers note that respect for the law is the source of national pride English. Unlike Russian drivers, English drivers will definitely stop at a zebra crossing and let a pedestrian pass, even if there is no policeman nearby who can fine you for not following this rule.

"Fair play" is a national priority, part of the gentleman's code - in all situations, the Englishman must behave honestly. Unlike the Americans, for whom the most important thing is victory, for the British, the most important thing is honest behavior in the game. Cricket is considered the most honest game in England and the phrase “It's not a cricket.” (This is not cricket) ”is an expression of disapproval of dishonest behavior.

The English are always polite and courteous. In a store or office, they patiently wait to be noticed. Not meant to attract attention service personnel to yourself, and it’s useless if another client is being served at that moment. But as soon as your turn has come, you will be served for exactly as long as necessary, while you can talk with the seller about the weather and other things, and none of those standing in line will show the slightest annoyance or impatience.

English people speak "thanks" not only in response to the service provided, but also in many other communicative situations: the passenger says “Thank you” to the controller in response to his gratitude, when he returns the checked ticket, the cashier will say “Thank you”, answering your gratitude for the banknote, which he changed you.

If you push an Englishman on the street, step on his foot on a bus, etc., he will immediately instinctively apologize to you.

If you are standing in the middle of the street, confused, with a map in hand, they will definitely come to you and find out if they can help you with anything.

Particularly noteworthy is the politeness towards the subordinates. A high-ranking Englishman will never talk down to his subordinate. From the outside, their conversation will look like a conversation between two people of the same social status. Politeness to inferiors is one of the manifestations of aristocracy in England.

The British are characterized by the spirit of competition, “the struggle of “all against all” (remember the famous “Homo homini lupus est” by Hobbes), which is manifested both in economic competition and in sports.”

Sports for the British above all. English newspapers are overloaded with sports news, and the same can be said about radio and television broadcasts. In pubs, patrons watch sports avidly and passionately discuss the results of sports matches. The British are happy to bet and bet, play on the sweepstakes. The roots of sport are deeply rooted in the English national character: the British claim priority in football, rugby, croquet, baseball, golf, badminton, boxing, billiards, horse racing, dog racing; even tennis, invented by the French, was turned into a spectacle by the British, who held the world's first championship at Wimbledon in 1877.

The British have a pronounced sense of English superiority. English, in their opinion, means the best. Common to many peoples English name"continental breakfast" is associated with non-English, i.e. not very high quality, not "as it should be."

The feeling of English superiority is also manifested in the indulgent attitude of the British towards foreigners.

With foreigners, the British are usually very polite, ready to patronize them. To a Russian girl who ended up at London Heathrow Airport without a penny in her pocket, for two hours, during which she waited for her friend, whom she came to visit (and who was late to the airport due to traffic jams), seeing her confused look , several Englishmen came up and lent her money. The girl did not ask for money, but the British felt it necessary to give it to her, since she is a foreigner. As an acquaintance who finally met her commented on this situation, such behavior of the British was quite natural, however, if English girl, no one would help her - the British believe that a person should take care of himself, or social authorities should do it for him.

English patriotism is believed to be based on a sense of security - as a nation they have been secure for centuries due to the country's insular position. The British are unshakably confident in their national achievements, which was largely facilitated by the success of colonial policy countries, in particular, the fact that at the beginning of the twentieth century, under the rule of british empire was 20% of the territory of our planet with a population of 400 million people. The British believe that all the most important things happen in England.

Unlike the Americans, who tend to be businesslike and busy, the British love to pretend to be bums. "Demonstration of laziness and relaxation in the UK is a manifestation of aristocracy."

Slowness, slowness in behavior characterize the English national character. “Half an hour for lunch is always not enough for the British (Russians fit in 5-10 minutes). For Russians, an English family dinner is long, and church service short."

Another national feature of the British is calmness in critical situations. The English are always calm and reserved. "One of the commandments of a gentleman is to always have a 'hard lip', never to lose his temper."

When it comes to "tough upper lip» Englishman, there are two concepts behind this - the ability to control oneself (the cult of self-control) and the ability to respond appropriately to life situations(the cult of prescribed behavior).

The British are very tolerant and prone to compromises. They are well aware that the existence of different opinions among people on the same issue is in the order of things.

They do not make comments to others, even if their behavior creates them great inconvenience. If the remark is nevertheless made, it will sound in a very mild form (Excuse me. I think you "re standing on my foot - on the subway train), often in the form of a request (Could you please stop talking? - to classmates during the lesson) " .

For the British, respect for the property of another person is a prerequisite for decent behavior in society. One cannot, for example, criticize the property of another. In England, it is not customary to laugh at deceived husbands - this man suffered in what belongs to him.

The British are very careful about compliance privacy. For English culture privacy is one of the main cultural property, predetermining the features of life, the type of relationship, the rules of communication. There is even such a thing as sense of privacy(feeling of "grab"). privacy- this that zone of personal autonomy into which outsiders are not allowed to enter.

The English will never interfere in other people's affairs unless asked to do so. There is a joke that if you tell an Englishman that he dropped burning ashes on his trousers, then in response you can hear: “For ten minutes now, matches have been burning in your jacket pocket, but I did not consider it possible to interfere in your affairs!”

The zone of personal autonomy is tangibly manifested in everyday life.

Convergence of interlocutors in English communication is permissible only up to the `privacy zone.' Intrusion into this zone is considered a gross violation of the norms of communication. To the question of whether it is customary to ask this question in transport, the professor of linguistics answered in surprise: Why should you know that?

The British quite liberally bring up their children, it is customary to treat children as equals. English mothers do not wrap up their children, do not dictate to them every minute what they should do. Small child can run barefoot in the pouring rain without his mother even trying to stop him. If the child cries, the Englishwoman does not rush to console him, but calmly waits for him to calm down himself.

The British are very fond of nature and actively protect it. Gardening is a hobby of the vast majority of the British, their real passion. The garden is often given the semblance of a natural landscape, as the English love everything natural.

The British are very punctual at formal events and sit-down dinners.

The English are very savvy. They do what they need to do and try not to do anything extra.

The British have always had a desire for freedom. Researchers note that only a threat to his freedom can raise an Englishman to fight. The English court, operating on the basis of the so-called "case law", is considered one of the most independent in the world.

Despite the sullenness and taciturnity of the English, they cannot be denied a sense of humor. If life in France is more about wit, then life in England is more about humor. French wit flourishes in a social atmosphere. Even a foreigner who does not know French, feels the sparkle of wit on crowded boulevards, watching lively groups at cafe tables. English humor is something secret, private, not intended for outsiders. He manifests himself in semi-noticeable hints and grins addressed to a certain circle of people who are able to appreciate these omissions as blurry highlights on well-known objects. That is why this humor is at first alien to a foreigner. It cannot be felt immediately or along with the acquisition of the language.

The ability to meet difficulties with humor and optimism is undoubtedly the source of strength for the English. Ability to maintain a sense of humor difficult moments the British value as the paramount dignity of the human character. It is considered not only natural, but almost obligatory to joke in the mine, when rescuers remove miners covered by a landslide from there. A man who has just been carried out of a burning building by firefighters is trying to make a joke about sunscreen.

Emotional restraint is essential distinctive feature English communicative behaviour. The British try to hide emotions in all situations. M. Lyubimov in his book “England. Walking with Cheshire cat." writes: “hearing about a terrible earthquake, an Englishman will not bulge his eyes, will not open his mouth in surprise, and even more so will not start tearing his hair. Most likely, he will notice: “Is it really so? Bad story, right? A rare Englishman will directly throw in the face "You are lying!", And say: "Your information is not entirely accurate, sir!"

The English only allow themselves to really show their emotions at funerals, and then they usually pull themselves together quickly. "Soon after tragic death Princess Diana's guides in London, talking about her funeral, noted with a sense of national pride that young princes during the whole ceremony they did not shed a single tear, thus demonstrating that they were true Englishmen.

The British avoid being categorical. Answers "Yes" or "No" are too categorical for them, and the British try to avoid them. Consequently English speech full of phrases like “I think”, “I think”, “I guess”, “maybe I'm wrong, but ...”, etc.

The British cannot argue at a party, it is customary to avoid any conflicts when communicating. It is considered bad manners to display one's erudition immoderately and to state categorically whatever it is.

The British are surprised by the ability of Russians to make phone calls and talk about nothing. They prefer to immediately explain the reason for the call. This also applies to negotiations. Calling home on business to either a subordinate or a boss is not accepted in this country. The British generally consider the telephone a less appropriate channel of communication than mail. A phone call can unsuccessfully interrupt a conversation, a tea party, a TV show. In addition, it requires an immediate response, leaving no time to think and weigh the answer. The recipient has the right to open the mail when it is convenient for him. It is in writing, and not by telephone, that it is customary, for example, to arrange a business meeting. This form of communication allows you to plan your time more flexibly.

Every Englishman, wherever he lives, bears the stamp of his nationality. It is not always possible to distinguish a Frenchman from an Italian or from a Spaniard, but it is difficult to confuse an Englishman with anyone else. Wherever he comes, he will bring his customs, his manner of behavior everywhere, he will not change his habits anywhere and for anyone, he is everywhere - at home. This is an original, original, highly integral character.

There are rules of etiquette that are international, that is, they are observed in all countries. At the same time, the etiquette of each country may have its own, and rather significant features, due to historical, national, religious and other traditions and customs. A Russian who plans to travel to another country, first of all, needs to study those rules and norms of etiquette that differ significantly from the same norms of his own country.

In my work, I will touch only on those rules and norms of etiquette that a Russian cannot do without on a trip abroad. I found it necessary to also study the rules and regulations business etiquette, since, in my opinion, Russians traveling to England also need to know these rules and regulations. If a Russian visiting England can still do without knowing the rules of business etiquette, then a Russian leaving the country for a business purpose cannot do without knowing and following the rules of both business and everyday etiquette.

When learning the rules English etiquette we have selected 54 rules. We have grouped all the rules into 2 groups:

• - Everyday etiquette;
• - Business Etiquette.

The rules of everyday etiquette were divided into the following subgroups:

• 1. Table etiquette;
• 2. Etiquette of greeting and address;
• 3. Guest etiquette;
• 4. Communication etiquette;
• 5. Etiquette in transport.
• 38 rules governing everyday life, and 16 rules from the Business Etiquette category.

Typical English: character, appearance, lifestyle

15.11.2016

The image of a typical Englishman and how such people behave in society, what clothes they wear and what habits they have.

Hi all. Welcome to my channel.

Today I would like to talk about such a phenomenon as a typical Englishman. My friends often ask me: what are they, these typical Englishmen, what is so special and unusual about them?

So, what is an Englishman by nature? According to my observations, many English people are very friendly and open. The stereotype that they are closed and cold is probably not entirely correct. Of course, there are people who are more good-natured and open, but the British can also easily invite you to their home. They do not have such an attitude: my house is my fortress, which is closed to everyone. Not at all.

The British go to visit each other, communicate. Sometimes an ordinary conversation in a store can turn into a story about your life, your family. But at the same time, it should be understood that under such good nature one should not expect anything more or some kind of long-term relationship. It may just be small talk. In general, the British are very social by nature. It seems to me that this quality is instilled from childhood, since schoolchildren quite often attend various circles.

Also here much attention is paid to sports, and usually all children play some kind of sports, and they are not limited to some classical disciplines (like football, basketball), but take part in a fairly wide variety of games in which girls also participate, in including. I think that all team sports adapt children very well to being in society, they become more sociable and open.

As for appearance: the British really take care of themselves. It cannot be said that they are some kind of sluts, but, perhaps, by our Slavic standards, their appearance will not quite fall under the concept of neatness and elegance - typical Englishmen are more relaxed, democratic in their clothes. And probably they do not pay as much attention to this as we do, because clothes for us are an expression of status, wealth. In England, this is somehow easier to do, but it cannot be said that the British wear things that are completely ugly or unstylish. The only thing I want to say about girls (when you go to a pub or night club): they go too far in the sense that they don’t dress for the weather at all. If it’s convenient not to take a jacket to a nightclub in winter, then the girl does so so as not to take it to the wardrobe and not forget it by accident, that is, she just puts on a dress (even without pantyhose) and walks down the street in this form, at that time how the snow lies all around. This is a slightly shocking moment. And at the same time, girls are very fond of false eyelashes, nails, various bright colors in their appearance. Maybe it would be good individually, but together it looks overly saturated.

Typical English people are very fond of going to pubs. And for the British, they are not bars or just places where you can have a drink, but more - as places to communicate and spend time with your friends, acquaintances, neighbors (that's why local pubs are very popular, where they constantly broadcast some matches, hold lotteries, karaoke ).

Another point that may seem trivial, but nevertheless, is that typical English people do not take off their shoes in a house or apartment. It's customary in our culture to take off your shoes, or at least ask about it. In England, you may be faced with the fact that guests will come to you and just walk straight into the hall without taking off their shoes. And only if the weather is already very bad and dirty on the street, they can ask whether to take off their shoes or not; but I have come across the fact that such a factor as inclement weather does not stop people, that is, they leave behind a pile of dirt. And when even you say: “Excuse me, can I ask you to take off your shoes?” - They might think you're rude.

The vast majority of foreigners consider Russian girls to be beautiful. As for other qualities and abilities, opinions differ here. Today we will tell you what the British think of us, honestly and without embellishment.

Personal care

Nature generously endowed Russian girls, and mothers, older sisters and friends taught how to take care of themselves. Slavic appearance- something that is quoted always and everywhere, especially against the background of unmade-up, and sometimes even uncombed English women. A girl from Russia does not forget about makeup and manicure even on an ordinary rainy day, and in order to style her hair, she does not need a special case or holiday.

Sense of style

A Russian girl carefully approaches the choice of wardrobe. She will never wear a pink miniskirt with sneakers or go to the club in winter in an orange plunging tank top and denim shorts. She has a lot of designer clothes in her closet, expensive dresses and branded bags. She knows what colors are trending right now, how to correctly emphasize her strengths and skillfully hide her flaws, if she has any at all. And of course, business card Russian beauty - heels, and not just 10-centimeter ones.

Sexy Russian accent

Yes, yes, what you are so shy about and what you are diligently trying to get rid of is actually your advantage. Russian accent in society British men is considered the very highlight that will help you stand out from the crowd.

Whoever said that the English have the best sense of humor in the world obviously flattered them. The inhabitants of Foggy Albion themselves do not think so. Russians, according to the British, joke the best in the world. A non-standard view of the world, slight sarcasm even in relation to their own country and the ability to play with words distinguish a girl from Russia.

Love for coffee

A cup of tea with milk is what an Englishwoman will definitely ask for when she comes to visit, and then she will also take an interest in the type of tea that the guy offered her. Russians do not bother about this, especially since half of the brands that you know - Lipton, Pickwick or Indian tea "with an elephant" - do not exist in England at all. But a Russian girl will gladly go to a coffee shop, and not to the usual Costa, but to a cozy place like those in St. Petersburg. To invite a Russian girl to Starbucks is to hurt her feelings. So the British young man you have to look through the whole Tripadvisor to find something worthwhile.

exactingness

If coffee, then in a beautiful cafe, if dinner, then in an expensive restaurant. No fast food or cheap eatery. Not paying for it in a cafe means looking like a fool or a miser. It’s better not to come without flowers at all, but to give jewelry, perfumes and other surprises for the holiday. It doesn't matter that March 8 is not celebrated in England - if a girl is from Russia, she should receive a gift on that day.

Intelligence further enhances attractiveness. Thanks to school and university, as well as curiosity and a craving for learning new things, Russian people know much more than the British and other Europeans. A Russian girl will easily tell you what the Tower is known for, what happened to Princess Diana and how many kingdoms are in Great Britain, which will confuse the Englishman.

The British know about what the USSR is only from the films and TV shows of the BBC. So any information about the Union, life for iron curtain and eating on cards, even if you only know about it by hearsay, from your parents and grandparents, it will be received with a bang and with an open mouth!

Whether you like it or not, but, for communication with native speakers, good command English language not enough, you still need to be familiar with the culture and traditions of the English-speaking people, so as not to get into trouble by asking a question from.

“The British nation is unique in this respect: they are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst.”

“The British nation is unique: they are the only people who like to hear that everything is very bad, and even worse than nowhere”

~ Winston S. Churchill

The national character of the English people is felt better than in any other people. It has a sense of superiority, which can also be called "island pride". British patriotism is based on a deep sense of security. in which they, as a nation, have been for centuries.

Appearance and character of a typical Briton

The British are easily recognizable by their appearance and demeanor. And looking more closely, determine from which part of the country this person

Appearance of a typical British

An Englishman of middle age is usually tall, his face is broad, reddish (rarely tanned), with soft, pendulous cheeks, and often with blue, expressionless eyes. Women, like men, are often very tall too. Both have long necks, slightly protruding eyes, and slightly protruding front teeth.

Against the background of the English, the Scots and Irish look simpler, but more colorful.. Squat with a lively face and a firm gait, the Scots are often carriers of thick red hair. Scots usually have light eyes - gray, blue, green. Also, the inhabitants of Scotland are characterized by fair skin, which is not blushed by the cold northern sun.

Scotland has the highest percentage of redheads in the world, with about 13% of the population having red hair.

Many often confuse scots with irish, they say, the Irish appearance is bright red hair, freckles and blue eyes. So, this is a stereotype. On the streets of cities, you will often meet guys with dark hair and a red beard. The performer of the role of Harry Potter is a typical representative of Irish appearance: a narrow face, often elongated, sunken cheeks that blush with spots, not “apples”.

Order and calm

The British value discipline very highly. and are considered the most well-mannered and polite in the world. Since English politeness is specific, it is often confused with coldness. Violent temperament and ardent passions rage under the guise of coldness and superiority. Principles of "gentlemanly conduct"(exemplary self-control), were elevated to a cult under Queen Victoria, but are still active today.

The English are heavy on their feet, tend to get around sharp corners that they have an inherent desire to be out of prying eyes, giving rise to a cult privacy. Sometimes it is enough to watch the English crowd at a national holiday or at football match to feel how the national temperament is torn from the bridle of self-control.

For example, they politely respect and respect their and your personal space, do not stick their nose into your affairs, do not ask questions, even just to find out the name of a person without a good reason is indecent rudeness.

The English are characterized by moderation, which they do not forget both during labor and in pleasure.

There is almost nothing ostentatious about the Englishman. He lives first and foremost for himself. His nature is characterized by love for order, comfort, the desire for mental activity. He loves good transport, a fresh suit, a rich library.

Among the bustle of people, it is not difficult to recognize a real Englishman. No noise or shouting will confuse him. He won't stop for a minute. Where necessary, he will certainly step aside, turn off the sidewalk, wriggle to the side, never expressing the slightest surprise or fright on his important face.

Naturally, they want to see the same manners in others. Therefore, the best reason to start a conversation with a friend and even with an unfamiliar Briton is

British habits and lifestyle

“My house is my castle,” the British joke, preferring to spend evenings in a quiet family circle, discussing the events of the past day in front of the fireplace.

Conservative or traditional?

The British value public order very much. and never rude. Their passionate commitment to games is widely known, but despite this, the British are very serious in business matters.

Often the British are called conservatives because of their adherence to traditions, which they passionately try to preserve in their original form. But it is this commitment that is most attractive to tourists from all over the world.

Tradition in Britain is anything that has stood the test of time.: rituals and habits, features of life and behavior (for example, green hedges, bright red mailboxes, right-hand drive and Left side traffic, double-decker red buses, judges in robes and powdered wigs of the eighteenth century, fur-bear hats on the royal guards, which they do not take off even in 30-degree heat).

You can learn more about the way of life of the British in the article.

After work, the inhabitants of England like to spend time in pubs, football and various clubs (for example, fan clubs, gardeners). These places are very fond of them, because here they feel more relaxed, it is easier to make new friends, united by a common interest.
