The English Definition of Politeness

The British think of themselves as polite and everyone knows how fond they are of their ‘pleases’ and ‘thank yous’. For instance, buying a train ticket requires at least seven of these. Another sign of politeness is queuing. The British people stand in a line even at the bus station. Some foreigners consider that queuing is the true national British sport and not cricket or football.

Take forms of address, for example. The average English person does not call a stranger ‘Sir’ or ‘Madam’, except if he or she works in a bank, hotel or department store. But in most European countries this is common polite behaviour. The English ‘you’ for every- one may appear more democratic, but it means that the British people need to find more complicated ways to express politeness.

And of course, the English find touching, hugging and kissing really terrifying, because these types of body language are for family members and very close friends. But most Europeans find the Latin habit of shaking hands and a friendly kiss quite charming. Though, nowadays there’s been a lot of influence from all media – particularly on the television when we see celebrities greeting each other with a double kiss or hug. And the young are changing traditional greetings.
