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

Answer this Question

We asked people in Margate 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!...

"In Margate, it's important to respect personal space and avoid touching people unless you know them well. It's also considered rude to interrupt someone while they're speaking. Avoid making negative comments about the royal family, as many locals are quite fond of them. It's also considered impolite to ask personal questions about someone's income, religion, or political beliefs. Littering is frowned upon, so always dispose of your trash properly. When dining out, remember that it's customary to leave a tip of around 10-15% of the total bill. Avoid being too loud or boisterous in public places, as this can be seen as disrespectful. Lastly, punctuality is highly valued in the UK, so always try to be on time for appointments or social gatherings," wrote a member who made the move to Margate, England.
