Etiquette
Cultural etiquette dictates that when invited to someone's home, you should bring a small gift for the hostess. Feel free to express your gratitude with a note or a telephone call. It is important to respect the British desire for privacy.
Don't ask personal questions about family background and origin, profession, marital status, political preferences or money issues. It is considered extremely impolite to violate a queue, so never push ahead in a line.
When it comes to clothes, there are no restrictions on how to dress. Men and women wear wools and tweeds for casual occasions. Do not wear a blazer to work -- it is country or weekend wear.
On formal occasions, always select an outfit that fits the dress code. When attending a holiday dinner or cultural event, such as a concert or theatre performance, it is best to dress formally.
Avoiding Conflict Altogether
Rather than discussing problems in a calm, respectful manner,
some people just don't say anything to their partner until they're ready
to explode, and then blurt it out in an angry, hurtful way. This seems
to be the less stressful way - avoiding an argument but usually it
causes more stress to both parties as tensions rise, resentments fester,
and a much bigger argument eventually results. It's much healthier to
address and resolve conflict. Assertive communication can strengthen
your relationships, reducing stress from conflict. Situation: Your
friend has shown up twenty minutes late for a lunch date. Inappropriate:
"You’re so rude! You’re always late." Assertive communication: "We were
supposed to meet at 11:30, but now it’s 11:50."
