The British are famous not only for their language, sense of humor, but also for courtesy, so you should respect social etiquette when you are in the UK.
Shaking hands is the most common form of greeting when you meet someone for the first time, when you greet close friends or relatives, you can kiss them on the cheek or hug them. It is quite normal when the English call you dear.
The British love solitude, so family, films, television, sports, study, food, hobbies and of course the weather are acceptable topics for small talk.
Make sure you are on time and have a small gift when you visit. You should always call before you come.
The nurse sees me and we smile and exchange greetings. “There he goes .”I hear. “I hope it turns out well.” But she says nothing directly to me about it.
