Do and Do not in Britain

Do say "Please" and "Thank you": It is very good manner to say "please" and "thank you". It is considered rude if you don't. You will notice in England that they say 'thank you' a lot.

Do stand in line In England people like to form orderly queues (standing in line) and wait patiently for the turn e.g. boarding a bus. It is usual to queue when required, and expected that you will take your correct turn and not push in front. 'Queue jumping' is frowned upon.

Do.... 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... 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 Smile : A smiling face is a welcoming face. 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. Do….

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…. 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 not.... Do not ask a lady her age It is considered impolite to ask a lady her age. Do not ask personal or intimate questions British people like their privacy. Please do not ask questions such as "How much money do you earn?" "How much do you weigh?" or "Why aren't you married?".

Do not.... Do not spit: Spitting in the street is considered to be very bad manner. 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... Do not greet people with a kiss: British people only kiss people who are close friends and relatives. It is impolite to stare at anyone in public: Privacy is highly regarded.
