New arrivals to the UK at Heathrow Airport can now pick up tips on how to behave correctly from Stephen Fry. The comedian has shot a short guide to British etiquette for the airport’s wi-fi page.
Fry, who made the video in collaboration with writer Graham Linehan, explains that we are a nation “renowned for its sense of humour and little quirks” such as cheering when someone drops a glass. While standing in a queue to be served in a pub he suggests that "We Brits do love a queue."
He concludes that the one golden rule is "make yourself at home." At which point a glass smashes and everyone cheers.
