Stereotypes about British people Hello everyone) I've listened to a podcast about life of British. I wonder, is it true that British like queuing?) What kind of stereotypes do you have in your country about British?

I agree that the word "like" is not appropriate. It is a part of British culture that we feel it is the right way to behave. WE stand in an orderly line and wait patiently and we do not take kindly to people who don't respect this norm. If people push in or don't wait their turn in the UK they will be considered very rude.

The stereotypes I have about British people is their big sense of humour (like if humour was in their genes) and especially a dry sense of humour , and also their self-control. And the cup of tea taken with milk in the afternoon. And also they show class.

Nobody actually likes queuing, Oksana. It's hardly a pleasurable activity! It's just a simple, clear, polite and fair way of getting things done.

It's not that we like queuing, but just that queues generally work effectively. I am sure it must be the same in many other countries.
