First, the title

I believe it is clear to everyone that the British name comes first and the surname comes last. People who are similar in age or younger than you can call them by their first names.

Second, line up

Whether waiting for a taxi or bus, or buying a ticket or checking out, don't jump in line or push forward.

Third, be a guest.

Don't break into other people's homes. But if the other party invites you, you should go with pleasure. This can undoubtedly be understood as a signal that the other party may successfully realize business cooperation. But when visiting, don't involve business, and don't forget to bring a bunch of flowers or chocolates to the lady.

Fourth, flowers

When sending flowers to British ladies, it is advisable to send odd numbers, not even numbers and 13, not to mention chrysanthemums and lilies that British people think symbolize death.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) privacy

Don't talk about the privacy of the British royal family. The Queen of England is regarded as the symbol of her country.

Sixth, decoration

Avoid using human figures as decorations for goods. I like to cover flowers and avoid white elephants, owls and peacocks.

Sneezing: In Britain, you must cover your nose and mouth with a napkin and say "I'm sorry" to the people around you. Sneezing is the most taboo in Britain. They always think that the flu is a serious disease.

Seven, afternoon tea

British people generally like to drink tea, especially women are addicted to tea. "Afternoon tea" has almost become an indispensable lifestyle for the British. Even if there is a meeting, some people want to have a rest and have "afternoon tea". Don't drink green tea,

Pour cold milk or fresh lemon into a cup, add some sugar, and then pour tea to make milk tea or lemon tea. If you pour tea first and then milk, it will be considered rude. They also like to drink whisky, soda, wine and champagne, and sometimes beer and spirits, and they don't advise each other.
