English people around - Part I


A month in the English country has given me some opportunities to form an initial opinion about the general public here. The thoughts are generic and are definitely subject to change but here I go for now.....

They like rules. They particularly like rules when they are driving. They do not overtake in any case if they are in the inside lane. They really respect traffic signals.

They talk about weather all the time. And I must say, they talk about it with many better adjectives. Gloomy. Muggy. Chilly. Drizzly.

They seem a little reserved. If you want a Brit to open up, wait until you know the person a little. Or, talk about the weather.



They adore tea cups. You may impress your British friend by finding new things to put in teacups, be it risotto, jewellery, soft toys or a small plant.

Many of them have travelled to India. They will have been to Delhi, Rajasthan, Shimla or Darjeeling.

They have a very sharp wit. Naturally, sarcasm follows.

They seem overly polite at times.

It feels nice to explore people along with places. I hope to find out more, till then, Cheers!
