I want to know UK people cultures. if i came to UK, then i will pick up your people culture easily. Say for example how to behave with man and women ?
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.

Good one ......:hehe:

Prince Charles, Princess Anne are married twice.

They did indeed marry twice, but not so that the marriages were concurrent... Now that's scandal! :hehe:

Prince Charles, Princess Anne are married twice.

Not at the same time - or to each other!!

Why twice? Formally twice and unformally ....................:D

According to Princess Diana's interview, there were three people in her marriage. That meant Prince Charles 'was' married to two women at the same time. 😀

However there is no 'scandal' in the royal family, there is only 'gossip'. Scandal can bring down a governor (Elliot Spitizer) or almost a president (Bill Clinton, he was lucky). 😉

If you believe that you can get a list of social norms so that you can seamlessly fit into a different culture, then I think you will be sadly disappointed. The best advice is use you eyes and ears before your mouth when entering a new culture.

Another thought is to start viewing or reading some of the UK media to get part of the flavor of the culture, but this would not be a very representative perspective. It might bring up information that could provide you with concrete questions to ask.

well people from england if you really want to see the English don't go to london, there are no English there now, you are likely to get stabbed rather than helped, its a police state yet the police do nothing. we drink coffee now rather than tea. we do eat fish and chips, however, the main dish is now curry.

hope this helps and if you want a nice girl get a Chinese Korean or Japanese's or Indian English girl don't go for a chav.

'tis true, not all English girls are chavs. If you look hard enough, you'll find a ladette or three. Not sure who is better though.

Gosh Terry this is a little extreme! You must have been one of the unfortunate few to have had a bad experience here. Most of us love London 😛 we have the best beer, fish & chips (and curry) and the prettiest women - even if the transport system costs an arm and a leg, takes forever and smells, you can still go out every night and have a ball. May I suggest you cast aside the jeans, Tshirt, smelly sneakers and chunky medallion and raise your sights a little? 😀

So what do the English have for breakfast? (Agreed, donuts aren't my favorite either.)

Here in the midwest, eggs (fried, scrambled, omelet), meat (bacon, ham, sausage, pork chop), bread (biscuits, toast) with a topping (jam, honey, molasses), and gravy(cream or redeye), and grits(yech) are prevalent. Explains why obesity is prevalent here too!

My fave is granola cereal and maybe some yogurt or fruit. Or a bowl of oatmeal in the colder months.

And of course, coffee so strong a spoon will stand up in it.

Just heard a lot of pubs are shutting down due to lack of business caused by no-smoking policies...true?
