Everything is different
In England everything is different. You must understand that when people say «England» they sometimes mean «Great Britain», sometimes «The United Kingdom», sometime «The British Isles» – but never just England.
On Sundays in Europe, the poorest person wears his best clothes and the life of the country becomes happy, bright and colourful; on Sundays in England, the richest people wear their oldest clothes and the country becomes dark and sad.
In Europe nobody talks about the weather; in England, you have to say «Nice day, isn’t it?» about two hundred times a day, or people think you are a bit boring. In Europe you get Sunday newspapers on Monday. In England, a strange country, you get Sunday newspapers on Sunday.
In Europe people like their cats but in England they love their cats more than their family. In Europe people eat good food. In England people think that good manners at the table are more important than the foods you get to eat. The English eat bad food but they say it tastes good. And one more thing – in Europe important people speak loudly and clearly; in England they learn to speak slowly and quietly so you cannot understand them. (adapted from The World of English)
