Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not
always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books. For example,
British women didn't go into pubs at the beginning of this century because it was
not considered respectable behaviour for a woman. Now both women and men
drink freely is pubs and women are fully integrated into public life. Visitors to
Britain are often surprised by the strange behaviour of the inhabitants. One of the
worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The other
people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and
it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn.
In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in
Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road,
especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants
in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at
night. And if they make a noise in public or in a restaurant it is considered very
rude. In recent years children are playing a more active role and they are now accepted
in many pubs and restaurants.
In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British
people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and
canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and
theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public
place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without
permission. . Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down
through history. The British have an expression for following these "unwritten
rules": "When in Rome, do as the Romans do".
