Living here for the last eight months, we've learned a few things about British life and culture. Here are a few insights in case you jump out of a plane and aren't sure whether you're in England or not:
10) People drink tea in the afternoon.
9) People drive on the other side of the road (but don't ask them why they drive on the "wrong side" :).
8) Everything is older in England whether it's Stonehenge or the plumbing.
7) People are polite, reserved, and yet use sarcasm and wit often.
6) People don't like it when you talk about what a great holiday the Fourth of July is in America.
5) People drink tea in the evening.
4) Pubs are great community gathering places to meet friends and have meaningful conversations.
3) People like One Direction and Downton Abbey much more than the Prime Minister.
2) The umbrella is an essential part of your daily "wardrobe."
1) People drink tea in the morning too!
