What's it like to live in Britain?

Folklore: British people are still more polite and hospitable; Because this is a place with obvious class level, I saw some middle-aged and elderly women in the street, wearing white gloves, black skirts and veils. These are all nobles. Whether they have money or not, these clothes represent her status;

Price: the food will be more expensive and slightly cheaper (depending on the region, of course); For example, near Hyde Park, a cup of afternoon tea for two people costs more than 100. Chanel perfume, about 30 pounds (domestic price is about 800 yuan);

Cost of living: it will be much cheaper if you buy food and cook by yourself (where is the labor cost in western countries, so it is generally more expensive to spend it outside when it comes to manpower). Another important point is that public transportation is very expensive.

Diet: In Britain, the average wealthy family often eats four meals a day, including breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. Breakfast time is mostly between 7 am and 9 am. The main foods are porridge, ham, eggs and bread coated with cream or jam. Lunch is about 13, usually cold meat and cold dishes (made of potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, lettuce and beets). Drink tea for lunch, but generally don't drink. Tea is about 17 hours, with tea as the main part and cake as the supplement. Dinner is mostly around 19: 30, which is the main meal of the day and often drinks. In Britain, people eat more lettuce. In the north of England, dinner is just tea, and only the fried fish and chips in the fourth meal are called "dinner". Most people pay more attention to three meals a day, namely breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. Only a few cold dishes were prepared for dinner.

Medical care: medical benefits are still very good. Public medical institutions basically do not need to spend money.

Property: Houses in Britain are generally more expensive. Especially in London, any apartment or something costs more than 6 million. Moreover, more importantly, the house is measured in feet, not square meters; Also remind that when buying a house, you must pay attention; Houses are divided into three categories, category A and historical houses, which cannot be changed or demolished. Every year, we have to spend huge sums of money on demolition and maintenance (Wang XX of Wanda Group bought it that year and later sold it at a loss); Class b, it is not allowed to change the appearance of the house, and the interior can be decorated; Class c is a new house; When buying, be sure to pay attention; Renting a house is quite expensive.
