It is very bad manners to jump a queue in Britain

I am interested in English culture very much, for example, so I want to know English manners.   Chen Manzhu, Jinzhou

Britain is generally regarded as a very well-mannered nation as there are a lot of polite words and expressions in the English language that people use on a daily basis.

British people are usually taught good manners at home and in schools.

In this week’s Ask About Britain Yang Li and Emily Hollins discuss some general good manners in public places.
