They don't drink coffee, they drink tea !!!!! They don't put ice when you order soda. If you want to order fish and fries, they call 'fish and chips'.

Heh... speaking of "tea"... I once had a friend from the UK who thought folks in the US where a bit odd... here's his quote...

"I guess I don't understand Americans... take Tea, for example... first, they boil the water to make it hot... then, they add ice to make it cold... they add sugar to make it sweet and then lemon to make it sour... finally, they raise the glass up, say 'Here's to you", and then drink it themselves." 😀

It's too open-ended a question. You'll pick it up differently than everyone else.

As an American, I thought the UK was strange, but people were nice.

Rootman SSCrazy Points: 2641 More actions · Answer 8

No, I'm English. But at a friends house in Texas, a large box of doughnuts was presented proudly to me and mine for breakfast. Needless to say the kids were thrilled, but...eurgghhh!

The UK is the same as most Western cultures in the way we behave towards Men and Woman, in most organisations there is usually an even mix between the both, and everyone is treated as equals. Like a lot of countries we have laws to guarantee this.

It also depends on what part of the UK your are looking at, London is one of the most multi cultural cities in the world and you can hear 100's of different languages being spoken daily and depending where you live it may not present itself has having the typical British culture you see on tv:)

Where are you from?

Now-a-days cultures are no barrier. As said you can eat Chicken Tikka Masala and be a good 'English Man'. With the world becomming so small cultures are getting mixed up. In India most of the people prefer english breakfast. 😉

Same as anywhere else in the West. You can work, drink and play with both at the same time but you can only marry one at a time. Either one.
