National features of the Great Britain

Adherence of British to traditions is manifested not only in the politician, but it is literally continually, in most that on is ordinary life: British contrary to logic and common sense adhere to the system of measures and scales (in a pub - the English pub - to you will always submit a beer pint, instead of half-litre! Beer), link sided traffic, traditions in a feed (the English breakfast strikingly differs from a so-called continental breakfast - a cup of coffee and a roll with jam - the solidity and validity).

Tea with milk became for a long time a national drink of Englishmen, their indispensable daily five-hour tea - fajv about a shred - not simply strictly installed time of receipt of nutrition, and first of all a motive for dialogue with relatives, friends, colleagues. This well-known English tradition has gained extending to Europe and the USA. Sometimes a tribute to traditions - the ornament is not simple. If near the Edinburgh lock you see guard in operetta, at a sight of the modern European, the Scottish skirt a carbine in his hands, can not doubt, - not so toy. And the Scottish guardsman - not employed for amusement of tourists the actor, and passing in guard rote military service the young man necessarily from ancient stem Gordonov to which the privilege is long since bestowed to guard the lock of kings of Scotland. Are so functional both old-fashioned keby and omnibuses in streets London, and hurrying on morning in London City clerks bear, having taken in a bunch, all folders with papers, - they despise portfolios the same as their predecessors hundred years ago.
