«UNWRITTEN RULES» OF GREAT BRITAIN
Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books.
Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behaviour of the people. One of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting for your turn in the queue. Such people are called queue – jumpers. The other people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn.
In some countries it is a bad manner to eat in the street, but in Britain it is common to see people having a snack walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. And if they make a noise in public or in a restaurant it is very rude.
In recent years smoking has become unpopular, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and cafes. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less popular to smoke in public places. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without asking the host.
Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these "unwritten rules": "When in Rome, do as the Romans do".
