Your answer to politeness was so polite, loved it. All Brits I've met so far were always polite and tend to prefer indirectness over bluntness. Which is great, but sometimes it leaves you wondering what are they really thinking about! :)

After 7 and a half years living in the uk, I can say.... 1. Weather: they love to talk about it. "This weather is sh*t" "It's pissing it down" "Why on earth did you move from sunny Spain to rainy England?" 2. Plastic surgery: no, but some get crazy about fake tan, fake nails and fake eye lashes/eye brows 🤣🤣🤣 3. Politeness: in workplaces (especially business environment), very polite. On normal situation, I believe it's more about cultural fact, maybe the lack of other polite linguistic resources (like spanish you: tu/usted) has to do with it. I quite like it tho. 4. Swearing: I've been told off so often for swearing 🤬 😂😂, but Brits swear a lot too hahaha. 5. Foggy/rainy London: you missed "smog" smoke+fog (back in 1800s). I love London weather. Rainy central London looks amazing. Walking down Tower Bridge on a foggy day is quite a lovely picture. 6. Not rinsing plates with water: yup, my ex used to fill up the sink, wash the the dishes and put them in the dish rack without rinsing it with water first, and I've seen the same to other Brits 🤔. 7. Jokes about the Queen? Hahahaha I've heard quite a few. One of the things I love from the British culture is their sense of humour. They like to joke about pretty much everything. 8. Drinking tea and pinkie out: tea yes, loads, if you're angry you drink a cuppa, if you're happy you drink a cuppa, if you're sad you drink a cuppa, if you're thirsty, a cuppa 😂😂😂. There's always a good excuse to drink tea. About pinkie? I've never seen it during this time 🤔.

In my childhood many towns and especially industrial areas had fog frequently. This was because of the burning of fossil fuels both in manufacturing and for heating homes. This changed with the Clean Air Act 1956, which was brought in following London's Great Smog of 1952. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_Air_Act_1956 - Note that the song "A Foggy Day in London Town" was written in 1937 when fog was still a problem.

When you are speaking about politeness, that is what is referred to as southern hospitality in the US. Saying “sorry” to someone who bumped into you is instinctual, almost like a reflex. I don’t even think about it when I do it, so it’s not conflict avoidance, it’s just ingrained in our culture. Watching many of your videos, I’ve noticed many similarities between southern USA and British cultures. 💞

Indirectness as an element of politeness is used in many other countries, including parts of Norway, especially in the southern region called Agder, where I live. We are also known for litotes, or understatement. When we find something extremely annoying, we might say something like: "I'm not sure if I like that so much." In other parts of the country, especially in the north, directness is the norm, and that can cause problems in communication. We perceive them as rude and they find us dishonest.

What you call "indirect" we in the USA call politeness. Being demanding ("Gimme that pen") without asking and saying "Please", "Excuse me", or "Sorry", is considered rude. Using "Please", "Excuse me", or "Sorry" are considered (at least in the USA) being polite. Love your channel!

Everywhere I’ve been in England, people have always been super polite - London is the only exception. I think that might be because of how tired people are of being surrounded by tourists all the time. London’s always super busy and loads of people just want to carry on with their day without being constantly asked questions. However, they will still stop and answer, it’s just a vibe you get that they’d be rolling their eyes at you if they could. Manchester? Super polite and always so friendly and willing to help you out. Kinda felt like they understood the struggle of being a foreigner. It’s not always easy to speak English with English speaking people, you might feel intimidated and judged for your mistakes right? Never happened in Manchester. Loved it up there!

Hello Tom :) Having lived in London before, I am familiar with all these patterns. So, I can say that British people are generally polite. Whenever I needed help, they took a kind approach to me and did their best to help. But, I also saw extremely rude people in some regions of the city, especially in the east and the north. İn my opinion, it changes person to person but usually yes. By the way, I love the jokes about the queen :) I am looking forward to seeing part two ;) Have a nice weekend mate :)

I'm from the Northern Midwest in the US and talking about the weather is a common phenomenon here too and probably for the same reasons, though severe weather frequently makes local and national newscasts. But yeah, as a conversation starter weather is good. Where I'm from though and I checked we get an average of 606.321 ml of rain annually. I think that figure doesn't include snow. What I found surprising was when I visited Ireland people were always apologizing for the weather. First, this was confusing to me - it's not like you can do anything about it and second, I'm from the Upper Midwest I've seen weather far, far worse than the mild rain we had in Ireland when I was there.

Hahaha, the way many-many British people do their dishes has been doing my head in for years :D They do wash with water, but so many Brits do not rinse. They fill a bowl with hot water, add dishwashing liquid, wash all the dishes in the same water, putting them straight in the drying rack without rinsing. Usually, the first items washed are covered in a layer of foam (yum!). Depending on how many dishes are being washed, by the time the last items get their 'wash', there is probably no foam left, you just have a bowl of warm greasy water (yum-yum :D); nevertheless, the dishes would still go straight on the drying rack and not get an extra rinse. Apparently, one's meant to use a tea towel if they want to get rid of the foam or grease :D Yup!

My experience is that the Britts really seem very polite but agree with Tom, living among the British people for quite some time I understand that it is the way the language is used. It is normal for the Brittish to speak indirectly and it does sound very polite, however I do not believe that it is their intention in many cases :)

Hey! I love your vids and your very inspiring. This is because I'm working as an ESL teacher abroad and I've really enjoyed it. But I'd like your advice as to my career. I've only got my GCSE's and Celta course. I'd like to go back to the UK but I don't know what other degrees to get in order to be more successful. I look forward to hearing ING from you. Thank you!

Of course 90% of brits are polite. I can tell, having been to the UK myself. . But the fairness can be seen from these Londoners.

Brits are super polite, you can add indirectness or not wanting any type of conflict but in the long run you are the kindest, especially to strangers. Try Paris or Buenos Aires and you'll see what I mean. In the USA people say nice things like kind greetings etc but British people always do better, I think is in your genes and it pops naturally.

I do think that in general english/british people are or can be very polite, in some areas, interaction with strangers isnt common and easy. Especially here in Yorkshire, some might be caught of guard a bit if you just randomly ask them something or tell them something and some might take this badly and offensively.

Hi everyone! I lived in London for about a year and (before the coronavirus) I used to come to UK at least once a year for my job. There is something that everytime I still don't understand.. What's the use of having two separate taps, one for extremely hot water and the other one for cold water? The result is that you burn your hands or you freeze them. They are especially in public washrooms, so I doubt that people fill the basin with mixed water. Ahh.. it's always so weird! ^___^

Thanks for your explanation sir , it's so amazing. I have taken a test of English online , and I found that I'm excellent in listening section ( upper intermediate) and in the grammar section also , but vocabulary and reading wasn't that great as I have expected to be , so in this level I want to develop it , any recommendations please and thank you

When I was in Spain, I learnt quickly to stop saying ‘por favor’ all the time. I worked in a bar, and some Spanish children that were playing outside kept running in and just saying ‘agua’ (water) at me. I found it rude until the manager explained to me that ‘we don’t make the children beg’. It all made sense why they find English people overly (and perhaps annoyingly) polite.

Regarding the British politeness, my personal experience is that on the one hand British people are really very polite (they do really say "sorry" being bumped), but on the other hand they often don't make any allowance for foreigners' level of English, i. e. it doesn't occur to them to speak slower when talking to a foreigner. So it becomes a foreigner's task to understand what the say, rather then their task to communicate it clearly.

With American accents, I noticed as a parent, a lot of little kids when play acting with friends will put on an American accent (I guess from watching TV and most singing accents are American) so I guess it’s just becomes naturally easy to do the American accent.
