1. __________________________
When Winston Churchill visited Stalin during the war, he was most impressed with the modern
wonder of technology that was mixed taps. You would think that - over 70 years later - Britain
would have joined the rest of the world. But no. Many houses in Britain still have separate taps
for hot and cold water.
In many public restrooms you will find that we're wholly traditional and your choices are the
following: 1. Use cold water. The Brits say it's character building. 2. Mix the water in the basin -
perhaps reserve this option for when you are at your place of residence and you know exactly
who’s been using it. 3. Scald your hands.
2. __________________________
Is it a sign of endurance? Unless it is freezing, the British don’t force their little ones to wear
jackets and mittens. As adults, they can’t wait to change out of their winter clothes into spring
attire. So perhaps the reason that they seem to endure the cold better than other nations is
due to nurture rather than nature? Extremely high energy prices and poorly insulated houses
don’t help either. Whatever the reason, bring sweaters and possibly hot water bottles and
slippers when coming to the UK. Because British homes are chilly, whether you're prepared for
it or not.
3. __________________________
Never mind the fact that double glazed windows are a rarity – inviting the winter into plenty of
homes - the Brits also love their health and safety rules. In an ideal world, that would mean
fitting all homes with double glazed windows so that people can keep warm. Instead, windows
often don’t open fully in case anyone would feel the urge to jump out.
4. __________________________
When Brits travel abroad, they often discover what true shower pressure is. You know, the
kind which actually rinses the shampoo out of your hair in less than a hundred years. So, don’t
be surprised if the pressure isn’t up to your country's standard when you have your first
shower on British soil.
5. __________________________
British people love a bit of carpet. It's probably because their houses tend to be a bit chilly.
The former landlord of one of our Country Managers also said that it decreases the
humidity. Fortunately, bathroom carpets have become unfashionable in recent years. So you
see, there is progress.

For parents, removing your mobile media device from the dinner table shows your family that you
are “plugged in” to the conversation. When people bring a cell phone to the table, even when not
in use, it results in a reduced quality of conversation.
