Thanks for explaining the British culture! I was shocked when I was in the UK first time, I greeted two Brits (new friends) and they said, 'may I?' I thought it will be cheek kissing. I didn't expect that they were really kissing on my face. My jaw dropped at that moment... I think most ppl don't know about this. As for other cultures you mentioned about, after living in the UK for 3 months will totally learn about it, LOL.

7 yrs in the UK already and it still touches my heart when I can see elderly couples, holding their hands, taking walks or catching up with quiet huge amount of another elderly friends and couple in the pubs, usually around 5pm or having nice time in the park, chatting and sitting on their adjustable chairs on the grass. its amazing watching them. I think the quality of their lives is much much better than in other countries, at least, if it comes to How they actually enjoy their life, i am not talking about pensions situation.

With regards to kissing on the cheek as a greeting, Lucy doesn't mention that no man (no straight man anyway) EVER kisses another man on the cheek. It's kind of OK to share a "man hug", a brief embrace, but most of us feel uncomfortable even with that. As for the "sorry" reflex, it's so true. I once saw a woman say "sorry" to a dog that walked into her. 😁

For me (I'm from Bulgaria) British culture is very strange and that makes it very interesting. Your style of presenting is very pleasant because there's a lot of humour involved. And there aren't any special effects or cool edits or something like that. It's the way the video is presented that makes it stand out - it's like a story. Pulls you in and you can't get out. You get lost in the vast and wonderful world of British culture!

Too bad I didn't watch this video before my wife and I visited the UK. We enjoyed our time there and since I'm a history nut, it was wonderful for me. I did try to talk to people on occasion and got some odd looks, especially when we traveled using the Tube. There were a couple of people who said to me, "Oh, you're American! I love your accent!" Then proceeded to engage me in conversation, which I enjoyed. I found the weather in England was much like that in the western portion of Washington state, here in the U.S. There's not much sun there normally.

I'm British and I think 19C is like the perfect temperature. I think it's universally agreed in Britain that less than 10C is cold, 10-15 is chilly, 15-20 is juuust right, 20-25 is pleasantly warm, 25-30 is hot, 30-35 is VERY hot, and anything above 35 is just HELL. I think last summer during the Europe heatwave it reached something like 42C in some parts of the UK, so it can happen.

Hong Kong is different from the rest of China (and was its own nation), it has that British influence, like you said. The rest of China is very Chinese. Very exotic and interesting though, I've not been there but I've seen about those temples in Bejing, and also some temples and exotic sights in cities such as Zhongzhou, Changsha, and Chongqing. Some beautiful sights along the Yangtze river, one of world's longest rivers, goes right through China, from Shanghai through Wuhan through Chongqing through the mountainous areas west of there, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, I'd like to visit there sometime

Although I’ve now spent 2/3 of my life in Canada and I DO remember British queue etiquette, I was very surprised several years ago. I was visiting in north London and had occasion to queue at a bank. I was pressed for time and I wanted to try to judge how LONG the queue was, but it went round a corner, out of sight. Making clearly exaggerated moves and staying well OUT of the queue itself I advanced towards the corner to have a look. Bless my soul! I got shouted down in more than clear terms. Clearly NO quarter is given in a London lineup. (I’m Scottish.)

The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face.

re: #32 separate hot and cold taps: I'm an old bloke and well remember the tap situation in London in the 1950s when I was a boy. The clean mains water supply went to a single special 'mains' tap in the kitchen, and that was what you drank. It also fed a storage tank in the loft, and that tank supplied 'cold' taps in the kitchen and the bathroom, and the toilet cistern. The idea of having a loft (attic) tank was so that each house had a reservoir of water in case the mains supply was interrupted by frozen supply pipes in winter, or by road works, but because the loft tanks were usually uncovered and not clean - dead drowned pigeons were quite a common find - you couldn't drink the water from the ordinary cold taps without risking sickness. Finally, the loft tank also fed a hot water cylinder which was heated either by separate water circulation from a wet-back coal burning kitchen stove or directly by electricity, and this hot water supply fed all the 'hot' taps in kitchen and bathroom. Because the hot water originated from the open and unhygienic cold water loft reservoir you couldn't drink the hot water either. So, the only safe drinking water was from a single special mains-fed tap in the kitchen. With the three kitchen taps, two taps in the bathroom sink, two in the bath, the toilet cistern feed, and circulating hot water from the kithchen wet-back stove there was an awful lot of plumbing and pipework running around under the floors and in the walls. And that's before there was central heating! In the dark cold winters some pipes, particularly in the attic, would often freeze and the expanding ice would burst the pipes, leading to sudden flooding in the house when the thaw came. Plumbers were always busy after a cold spell. And they talk about the 'good old days' - no thank you!

Hi, Lucy... I've only discovered you today, but this is probably my favorite of the videos of yours that I have seen so far. I am an American, raised in Chicago, anglophile, Spanish language teacher. Disgusting 50 British quirks was a very entertaining topic for today's video. I can't wait to go through all of the links you included. My favorite was the avoiding awkward moments story, where your friend walked on with an empty shopping bag just to ditch the person she didn't want to speak to. I absolutely love that. I daresay I have done things at least that weird and similar situations. Nice to know it isn't just me. One question, though you might not ever see it, do you speak received pronunciation? Your accent is beautifully clear and easy to understand.
