5. Queuing 

The next time you see yourself impatiently falling in line to get tickets to a film showing, think of the humbling history of queuing which traces back to World War II.

Turns out, this social action in which British people are now known for, emerged as people to form a file to receive supplies, among others. Today, we see English people following invisible lines and maintaining an organized line for just about anything.

Queuing attitude, though, is a topic for another discussion. Albeit lines are kept systematized, no one can blame them for grumbling about the long wait – while instantaneously keeping the queue straight.

Extra, extra:
There are some social customs that are peculiarly deemed unacceptable by a number of the British queuing public. This includes speaking to other people in line and accepting an offer from the person in front of you to go ahead of the line.

The regatta is a boat race between the rowing teams of Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

itish culture and traditions: Regatta

The contest dates back to 1829 as a result of a challenge between two friends, Charles Wordsworth (Oxford) and Charles Merrivale (Cambridge.) Now, the race is held annually sometime during the Easter vacation on the River Thames in southwest London.

The racecourse is known as the Championship Course. It is almost 7 kilometres long and is located between Putney and Mortlake.

Wondering who won between the two? It was Wordsworth for Oxford. Their crew’s winning boat is showcased at the River and Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames.
