By the way, introduce the living customs and eating habits of the British.

On Sundays in London, not all shops are closed, but most (especially personal) badges are closed, and all theaters and most cinemas are closed. Because Londoners like to go out for an outing on Sunday.

In Britain, it is best to give a lighter gift when giving a gift. Because the cost is not much, it will not be mistaken for bribery. The British are like most other Europeans. I like high-grade chocolate, famous wine and flowers. Most of them don't appreciate the guests' gifts with the company logo. -Agreed.

Drinking tea, which is deeply loved by people from all walks of life in Britain, can almost be called Britain's national drink, especially women's addiction to tea. English people like fresh strong tea, with one or two lumps of sugar and a little cold milk. -Not freshly brewed tea, but Lipton black tea. And two spoonfuls of sugar and a little milk, depending on your taste?

Afternoon tea in rural areas, also called meat tea, or whole tea, replaces dinner with fish, meat and other dishes. -There are no refreshments now. If you are hungry, use bagels or something instead.

There is also five o'clock tea in Britain, which is a social activity for pro-class women. Instead of drinking tea, it is better to meet friends at five o'clock in the afternoon to chat, which is equivalent to a coffee reception for women in continental Europe. -I don't think so now.

British people don't like to talk about private affairs when they meet, but love to talk about the weather, otherwise they will be given a cold shoulder. I don't like talking about the weather, but I start with the weather to solve the embarrassing scene of not talking.

In Britain, giving a thumbs-up means asking for a ride. -Nobody does that anymore. It's dangerous.

In Britain, if you wear a mask in the street, people will think that an infectious disease has escaped and maybe someone will call an ambulance. -I didn't know that. I haven't tried.

-Clothing:

British people still pay more attention to clothes, so they still wear suits and ties when receiving visitors, visiting or attending cocktail parties, banquets and parties. You can wear a short-sleeved shirt without a suit in summer, but you should also wear a tie. -It depends on the occasion. Generally speaking, people don't wear formal clothes, mainly casual clothes.

-Date:

The British have a strong sense of time. Be sure to keep the appointment on time. It is impolite to be late for no reason, and it is unnecessary to arrive too early. If the appointment is postponed or temporarily cancelled for some reason, try to call the other party. In Britain, direct telephone calls can be made to all parts of the country and many cities in the world. Haha, it's early for British people to be half an hour late now, except for business activities and weddings.

Holidays:

Most British businessmen work five days a week, and Saturday and Sunday are holidays. It's best not to go to England in August, because most people have gone on holiday. In addition, avoid the period from February 20th of 10 to February 2nd of the following year 10, because people are preparing for Christmas and New Year. Easter is from the end of March to the middle of April. There are holidays in May and August. Sometimes working four days a week, don't forget the bank holiday.

British people usually drink beer and whisky without ice. In addition, they like to travel in groups to distant places. Therefore, this festival is very important to the British. They must eat an almond pudding first, and then eat something else. If you receive a gift from someone else within this week and feel inappropriate or dissatisfied, you can also take the gift to the original store and exchange it for something you like at a similar price. In this way, people who send and receive gifts will find it very convenient.

Coal When visiting other people's homes in the New Year, the British must put a piece of coal in their own stove as a gift to celebrate the New Year. At the same time, I also said a blessing: "I wish your coal will not be blocked for a long time." British people have the habit of queuing. You can see them queuing up one after another to get on buses, trains or buy newspapers. Poisonous gas is disgusting.

You can't ask a lady's age. British people don't like to talk about men's wages and women's ages, or even how much their furniture is worth. You shouldn't ask. If you ask a lady's age, it's also inappropriate, because she thinks it's her own secret and everyone wants to stay young forever. There is no better compliment than saying "you look so young" to a middle-aged woman. There is no doubt that every lady's hairstyle, makeup and clothes are designed to make herself look more beautiful and younger, but if her dress makes people feel too deliberate, then others will accuse her of being "tacky" in a critical tone.

You can't bargain when shopping in Britain. The most taboo is bargaining. The British don't like bargaining and think it's a shame. If you buy a valuable work of art or a large number of goods, you need to negotiate a full price with the seller carefully. The British seldom bargain. If they think the price of the goods is right, they will buy them, and if the price is not right, they will leave.

Toilet, go to "100"

The word "toilet" originally meant a place to wash hands or face, but its practical meaning is toilet. British people don't directly say "go to the toilet" when they go to the toilet, and they don't directly mention the word "toilet" when reminding others. If you want to go to the toilet, you can say "go to the men's room" or "go to the women's room", or you can say "please forgive me for a few minutes" or "I want to wash my hands" and so on. If the child wants to pee, say "I want to go there". Among relatives and friends, "No.65438 +000" is the most commonly used expression.

British New Year custom:

On the day before New Year's Day, every household must have wine in the bottle and meat in the cupboard. The British believe that if there is no wine and meat left over, they will be poor in the coming year. In addition, the custom of "digging wells" in the New Year is also very popular in Britain. People strive to be the first person to draw water, thinking that the first person to draw water is a happy person, and the water obtained from it is auspicious. On New Year's Eve, English people often go out to visit with cakes and wine. They went straight to their relatives and friends' houses without knocking. According to British custom, after the 1001 night of New Year's Eve, the first person who steps into the house indicates the luck of the new year. If the first guest is a man with dark hair, or a happy, happy and rich person, the host will be very lucky all the year round. If the first guest is a woman with light yellow hair, or a sad, poor and unfortunate person, then the host will be unlucky and will encounter difficulties and disasters in the new year. People who visit relatives and friends' homes on New Year's Eve should first stir the fire in the fireplace and wish the host "open the door" before speaking. In some parts of central England, when people go out on New Year's morning, whether they are familiar or unfamiliar, they will give each other copper coins. They think that this will not only make each other rich for a year, but also bring them good luck.

English people often drink English breakfast tea and earl grey in their daily life. Among them, English breakfast tea, also known as eye-opening tea, is made of black tea from India, Ceylon and Kenya. It has a strong taste and is most suitable for enjoying after getting up in the morning. Earl grey is made of China tea and bergamot. It has a special aroma and is very popular in the upper class of Europe.

British people's love for black tea is world-famous. At many different times of the day, I stop for a cup of tea. Queen Anne loves to drink tea, which has also deeply influenced the habit of drinking breakfast tea in Britain. Annamaria, a British countess, popularized the habit of drinking afternoon tea in the1840s. Queen Victoria even drinks afternoon tea every day, making afternoon tea popular.

Eating habits British food is a world-recognized famous dish. It has a long history and exquisite craftsmanship, and is very popular in the world. Related to this, the British are also very particular about dining. The average British family usually eats four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. People in a few areas have to add another meal after 9 pm. The British pay attention to the light taste, good quality, fine quantity, various patterns and nutrition of dishes. They like to eat beef, mutton, eggs, poultry, desserts, fruits and other foods. I like to eat all kinds of jelly and ice cream in summer and all kinds of hot pudding in winter. I usually drink beer first when I eat, and I also like to drink whisky and other spirits. China tea was introduced to Britain in the17th century. At that time, the British didn't know how to drink tea, so they swallowed it as a delicious dish. But when they learned about it, they formed an indissoluble bond with tea and changed the habit of drinking only coffee, beer and other drinks in the past. Now real English people have the habit of drinking "bed tea" in the morning and "afternoon tea" in the afternoon. Generally, it is mainly black tea. English people usually have breakfast between 7 and 9. They drink porridge, bacon, eggs, bread, jam and other foods. Lunch is usually around one o'clock in the afternoon. There are all kinds of cooked meat, salads, bread, biscuits, cheese, butter and other foods. I think most people have to work in the afternoon, so most people don't drink hard liquor when they eat, and dinner is usually between 7 pm and 8 pm. The main foods are soup, fish, meat, vegetables, pudding, butter, dessert, fruit, and all kinds of wine and coffee. This is a very delicate meal, so it takes a long time. As for afternoon tea, it is usually around 4 pm. Breakfast The traditional English breakfast includes fried bacon, sausage and fried toast. This is called "fried food". But now most people are too busy to eat this hearty breakfast every day, so the most popular breakfast types are: a bowl of cornflakes with milk; Some yogurt with fresh fruit; Toast with jam, usually with tea, coffee or juice for breakfast. British people still enjoy the traditional English breakfast on weekends. Every hotel or restaurant, especially the well-known family hotel (B&; B) Traditional English breakfast is served. Lunch, English Chinese food will be solved soon. Unlike Italians, lunch usually takes only 30 to 40 minutes. Many English people eat sandwiches, perhaps because sandwiches were invented in England. Usually people make sandwiches at home in the morning and then eat them at lunch time. Sandwiches are British lunches. Another popular lunch is baked potatoes. Dim sum is very common in Britain, especially chocolate, especially at 1 1 am and 3 pm. British children eat the most sweets in the world, which keeps British dentists busy. Dinner Dinner is the main meal of the day, usually with two dishes-meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert (that is, pudding). English children know to eat all the meat and vegetables before eating pudding. Frozen cooked food is quite common in Britain, almost every family has a microwave oven, and usually British people (especially students) buy a frozen cooked food, put it in the microwave oven and eat it while watching TV-this is called "TV dinner". Foreign food is also very popular in Britain. Supermarkets are full of Indian, China, Italian, Greek and Japanese food-in fact, food from all over the world. After dinner, we usually have a cup of tea (with milk of course! )
