Its People

Tolerance:
British people are usually tolerant to foreigners, and respect the freedom to have different opinions and beliefs. Individual ideas are encouraged. Arts and music are creative. British people are often not so good at working as a group.

Freedom & Modesty:
People usually feel free to express their own opinions and wear what they want. Don't expect people to agree with you all of the time. Still people are quite modest. They do not like to complain directly: life is peaceful, but when there is poor service it is not challenged and changed.

Humour:
British people have a strong sense of humour, but it can be hard for foreigners to understand when someone is joking. People often avoid talking to strangers until they have been introduced, partly to avoid any possible embarrassment.
