Local Customs: "Can I have?"
  • Tip Rating:
  • Apparently, Londoners do not like hearing "Can I have?" when someone wants something, I was told it sounds very aggressive. They prefer "may I" because it's much more courteous.

    Mind you, these people have exceptional manners and are quite proper.

    Use your language delicately.
