The British have something that makes them different than other Europeans. They drive at the left-hand side of the way and use still the pound. A few habits that makes them typical and different :
Make the queue please!
Visiting an event or taking a bus, we often try to push forward in all possible manners. In many cases it becomes a survival of the fittest. The English man continues standing alive making a queue, patiently

Cooking
Jamie Oliver is one of the most well-known cooks in Europe You would think therefore that there many kitchen princes and - princesses walk around in United Kingdom, but nothing is less true.
English cooking is in many cases an experiment

English breakfast
Fast ready-to-eat meals or ordinary fastfood is a hot item
Modern parents give their children what they want
A healthy salad is almost from pine boze.
The English breakfast is not very varied. But the idea that this forms the daily breakfast, has been completely retrieved.

Tea with milk and scones
The English people have a long tradition drinking tea.They drink a kind of tea as black as possible…. and than they spoil it by adding some milk and a lot of sugar

Services in pubs/bars and bistros

Typical British : sitting in a pub or bistro – there is no table service.
You have to order/ pay and take your drinks/snacks at the counter.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
