Do Britons take off their shoes when enter someone else's house?
(the textbook says 'no',but I am quite confused)

Question

Answer

The short answer is no. 
The long answer is it depends on what their ethnicity is. If they're Asian, it's likely they will still hold on to their culture and would ask you to take your shoes off.

Generally speaking, Caucasians and those who consider themselves naturalised or fully assimilated will be happy for you to walk in with shoes.

But do ensure that you wipe your 'feet' before entering the house.

Answer

I don't know of any who do. Australians don't either.
