Here it is.
10. Military time.
In the U.K.
9. If you are
ordering a burger in the U.K.
8. If you thought
you knew how to drink, think again. Drinking is a competitive sport in this
country.
7. When an English
person says "oh, incidentally" or "by the way", that means
they are about to get to the primary purpose of their discussion with you. If
you are not careful you might miss very important pieces of communication with
the English. It takes a little detective work, but eventually the subtlety won't
be lost on you.
6. In the U.K. U.K.
5. If it rains at
the beach, just get a cup of hot tea to warm up and ignore it. It's better that
way.
4. No matter what
country you live in, people are fundamentally the same. No one country has a
larger percentage of people who are perceived to be 'unclassy', 'stupid' or
'uncultured' or those who think they are better than this group. Pretty much,
everywhere you go, people like to judge others (It's sad!).
3. When you get
invited to someone's house in England
2. If it's sunny
outside, no matter what the temperature, and you're at a party/pub/someone's
house/wedding, you are required to be outside. Invest in a good summer coat and
scarf, as it's better to be warm so your teeth won't chatter and you can
actually enjoy the sun. Because if it's sunny now, it might not be later.
1. You can have
more than one home. Home is a fluid concept – it's where your life is – and that's
not always a constant.
