Tips for the tourist in Britain

    The British are usually helpful"and"friendly. But there are some things you should remember so that you don’t make mistakes when you travel there.

a. At bus stops, in cinemas"and"in shops, the British usually stin a line. You shouldn’t go to the front — you should stand in the line"and"wait, like everyone else.

b. British people are usually polite. They say “please”"and"“thank you” a lot. So when you are hungry, for example, you shouldn’t say “I want a sandwich.” You should say “Can I have a sandwich, please?” When someone says “Thank you”, you can reply “You’re welcome.”

c. When people say things you don’t understand, you should say “Sorry?” or “Pardon?”"and"ask them to say it again. You shouldn’t say “What?” — it isn’t polite.

d. Finally, don’t forget — the British drive on the left. So before you cross the road, you should always pay attention to the right!
