Author Description

The rumors are true. The British Do apologize when other people bump into them; play field games that can last for days without an overall winner; and may not speak to you unless spoken to first. With this must-have travel guide of the Do's and Don'ts while traveling in England, you learn more about why the British may appear stuffy and aloof when they actually happy to see you. The British Do respect your right to privacy and are careful not to invade your space. Once contact has been established however, you'll receive a warm welcome. They'll tell you about themselves, so Do tell them about you in return. Don't be surprised to hear all about the good weather that you've just missed, their pets, their operations, their foreign holidays, and more. To ensure that you, the foreign resident, fleeting visitor, or armchair traveler enjoy your stay in Great Britain (or is that the British Isles or the United Kingdom?) the authors present a light hearted but practical guide to the Do's and Don'ts of visiting this small but influential country. DON'T jump on the bus before everybody else--you'll be labeled a philistine; DO offer your cheek if her or she is about to give you a social "pleased to meet you" kiss; and DO appreciate that pets are honorary people with whom the Brits hold conversations.
