What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Weymouth?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Weymouth if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"When visiting Weymouth, it is important to be respectful of the local customs and culture. Avoid making loud or obnoxious noises in public spaces, as this can be seen as disrespectful. Do not litter or leave trash behind, as cleanliness is highly valued in the UK. Be mindful of personal space and avoid touching or standing too close to others without their permission. When dining out, it is customary to wait for everyone at the table to receive their food before beginning to eat. Additionally, tipping is not as common in the UK as it is in other countries, so be sure to research appropriate tipping etiquette before visiting restaurants or bars. Finally, be respectful of local history and traditions, and avoid making jokes or derogatory comments about the British monarchy or other aspects of British culture," said another expat in Weymouth, England.
