Everyday life is different in every country and so even for the holidays as England's Christmas isn't commercialized and out there caroling it's more of a private holiday. 

There is an everyday cultural difference in these countries over here where they aren't sitting eye to eye because there is a social class with the wealthy and the less affluent classes.

It is not the same as American or Australian English. 'Hi, mate' is not the correct and appreciated way to approach someone in the street. Neither is 'G'day', 'Howdy' or 'Hey Mister'. The formal British way to greet someone is 'Good morning, good afternoon or good evening' and, if you want to ask something, 'Excuse me please'. 

In Britain, every part of the country has its own way of speaking English. People in Yorkshire sound very different from people in Surrey; a Somerset accent is very different from any Scottish accent and it's hard to believe that people from Birmingham are speaking the same language as those from Cornwall. Most people in Britain can guess where someone comes from by the way they speak, either by their accent or by the words they use. 

If you would like to speak like a person from London, Newcastle, Scotland, and Liverpool, Queen's English, Liverpool, North England, Birmingham, Newcastle, Scotland, London Then there is way you can do it by listening to them speak. ]]> 2020-01-09 16:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/samuelnelson/18t07kli2wmk/wish/429552411
