Having trouble when travelling abroad? Here are some customs that will allow you to seamlessly blend into any strange and hostile foreign country. This week's country? England!
When meeting an unfamiliar Englishman, make sure to offer your condolences on the tragic death of Princess Di. This will make them feel as if you are part of their family and understand the importance of nobility.
Never get into an Oasis vs. Beatles discussion. There are simply no winners with this. Only losers.
During the entire month of May, offer up the phrase - "What's the Story Morning Glory?"
Never speak of Amy Winehouse's drug problems. This is a touchy subject. It would be like taling about "Jon and Kate Plus 8" at an Octomom family reunion.
On July 4th, make sure to send a Mother's Day card to the Queen of England.
Use the following compliment liberally - "He posesses the charisma of Sean Connery's 007, but the style of Pierce Brosnan's."
Remember - England's "Fergie" is much, much different than America's "Fergie". It will be awkward to ask Britain's royal redhead to sing "My Humps".
This should cover all encounters you have in England. But should you come across a situation I haven't covered, make sure you remember these four words.
Bend it like Beckham.
