British customs and taboos

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 gifts with company logo.

tea

Tea can almost be called Britain's national drink, especially women's addiction to tea. British people like fresh strong tea, with one or two pieces of sugar or a little cold milk. In rural areas, afternoon tea, also known as meat tea or whole tea, is very popular. Eat fish, meat and other dishes with tea instead of rice. There is also five o'clock tea in Britain, which is a social activity for wealthy 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.

clothes

British people 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. However, they are very afraid of striped ties, because striped ties may be considered as imitating military uniforms or student uniforms.

Pay new year's call

When an Englishman visits someone's home in the New Year, he must take a piece of coal and put it in their stove as a gift to celebrate the New Year. At the same time, I also said a blessing: "I wish your coal will burn forever."
