Title: Introduction to British Etiquette
Post by: BerkshireBugsy on January 07, 2016, 12:23:02
I've shared this in "other ways to travel" as this video will be shown at Heathrow to introduce visitors to some of the quirks of being in Britain.

Presented (in my opinion) as only Stephen Fry could..

Most of my colleagues are from overseas.  There was a slightly awkward moment in our office kitchen before Christmas when someone broke a glass and I was the only one to cheer.  Think I may have to share this video with them!

It's an amusing and entertaining video but I think if I'd just landed at Heathrow knowing nothing of Britain I'd find it baffling. Of course you need a fairly good command of English to understand it anyway so that's not going to happen, and it will serve as a light-hearted dequirker.
