Whether it is the crowd near the right station on the subway or the long queue at the bus station, the British are polite and orderly everywhere.
Walking:
Although this is a common thing, walking is actually learned. Life in Britain is very fast. During the rush hour, the road is crowded and people rushing forward can be seen everywhere.
Walking on such a crowded road, there is a very important principle: don't meet others. This not only refers to physical collision, but also includes trying not to touch others with the bag you are carrying or the things you are holding, and keeping a certain distance from others.
British people walk very carefully and try to avoid physical collision. Even if you are touched by others, you will say "I'm sorry"
If you walk on a narrow road and want to pass the slow passerby in front of you, don't push.
Usually, if you are fast, people in front will find you behind, stop and let you go first.
If it is not found, first say "excuseme" to attract his attention, and then wait until he leans to one side and moves out of position before passing.
On the other hand, if you walk on a narrow road or in a subway tunnel, you should pay attention to looking back from time to time. If you find that the person behind you is faster than you, you should give way to him sideways in time. Because the British really don't have the habit of squeezing others.
Foreign students are new to Britain and are not familiar with the intricate subway lines in Britain. Sometimes when they walk, they will suddenly stop to look at the map or signs, and then the people behind them will "slam on the brakes".
If you park your car in front of the elevator, it will also prevent people behind you from getting on the elevator. This situation may happen to international students. I suggest that you should pay attention to finding a place that will not affect other pedestrians before looking at the map or signs, instead of blocking the road in the middle of a crowded road.
Catering:
British people pay more attention to etiquette when eating. They never open their mouths when eating, and their upper and lower lips always stick together when chewing food, because it is impolite for others to see the food in their mouths.
English people don't like to talk while chewing food. If they need to talk while eating, they usually only put a small amount of food into their mouths at a time and talk alternately while eating. When drinking soup, the British will scoop the soup with a spoon and drink it from the side of the spoon instead of from the tip of the spoon.
In Britain, going to restaurants also has a lot of knowledge. When you arrive at the restaurant, don't sit directly in the restaurant, but stand at the door of the restaurant and wait for the waiter to take you to an empty seat.
When ordering food, the waiter usually gives you the menu and leaves. The waiter will not come to continue the service until you finish ordering and close the menu.
If you keep looking at the menu, the waiter may never come to give you enough time to think about it, so don't think that the service in the restaurant is not in place.
There is a small square towel on the dining room table, which is used to put on your knees, usually before appetizers. If you need to call a waiter when eating, it is absolutely unacceptable to raise your hand and call "waiter".
In some high-end restaurants, waiters are usually well-trained and polite. All you have to do is watch him and he will come to serve.
If you are in a mid-range restaurant, the waiters are usually busy. You can look at the waiters near you first. When he notices you, you just need to nod your head and he will understand you.
If you haven't been found for a long time, you can put your hand parallel to your shoulder and wave it gently to attract the attention of the waiter.
When the waiter passes by you, you can also say "excuseme" to get their attention.
