An introduction to taboos in British immigrant life

Britain is a very orderly country. In Britain, people are not allowed to line up anywhere or on any occasion. You will find them waiting in line at bus stops, railway stations and even convenience stores, because they feel that queuing is a shameful thing.

Second, don't ask other people's privacy.

In Britain, they attach great importance to their privacy, so in their usual communication, they must avoid some privacy-related topics, such as personal age, salary and even the price at home.

Third, respect the lady.

British men are very gentlemanly. In this country, they always adhere to the concept of "ladies first". In restaurants, men will open stools for women, open doors for women when they get on the bus, and often praise women for "you look beautiful". They never skimp on women's praise.

Fourth, don't bargain when buying things.

In Britain, it is rare to see bargains when buying things, because they feel abrupt, but this phenomenon is very common in China, so British immigrants must pay attention to this point after going to Britain, and try not to talk about such topics even if they are unconventional items. In their view, it is straightforward to buy if it is suitable and leave if it is not suitable.

5. Be a guest and bring a small gift.

When visiting other people's homes, you must have the invitation of the director before you can go. It is impolite to act rashly, especially in business negotiations. Even if invited, don't talk about business when you go to an appointment. The most important thing is to bring some small gifts. If you are a lady, you can bring a flower to express your friendship.

Sixth, address others.

Anyone who should have done his homework in advance will know this. They always say their names before their surnames. If they are younger than you or have little age difference, they can decide whether to have a name or a nickname according to their usual friendship. But unless the other party asks for a first-name basis, the elders should give priority to honorifics.
