Please, speak slowly.
The British drive on the left. The buses in London are red. There are single and double deckers. You can see a lot from a double decker. You musn't stand upstairs on a double decker. Most taxis are black.
Barber's pole. It is thought that the red and white stripes represent a bandages wound from the days when the town barber was also a surgeon.
You will find different post boxes in most towns and villages. There are wall post boxes, but the red pillar box is still a familiar sight on English streets. In the past, you could see the large red telephone boxes on every British street.
The British queue for everything. At British banks, shops, cinemas, theatres or bus stops you can always see people in queues. They stand in a line and wait quietly, often for a long time. Each new person stands at the end of the queue - sometimes in rain, wind or snow. Don't jump the queue! People don't like it.
Pubs are an important part of British life. Even very small villages always have a pub. People often go to the pub for a drink in the evenings and at the weekends. Many pubs serve food, especially at lunchtime. Every pub has a name and there is often a sign outside the pub. The sign shows the pub's name with a picture.
