British politeness
Do you, learners of English, ever wonder whether repeating and trying to remember various everyday
English expression, such as Excuse me, could you tell me where the nearest taxi rank is? has any value other
than in exams? Well, I must admit that such things didn’t cross my mind until last February when I got a
letter from the British Council, saying that I had won a language course in England. The polite question
mentioned was the one I had to ask on arrival in Parkston, a picturesque part of Poole with lots of semi-
detached houses on either side of each street. What struck me most was the kindness of an old lady, who
happened to leave Safeway’s just after my getting off the coach. Not only did she show me where to phone
for a taxi, but she also gave me a hand with the luggage. I was really surprised, too when the taxi driver got
out of the car and helped me put the bags into the boot. I immediately thought of Polish taxi driver who
usually For example not make the slightest effort to help you, apart from pressing the right button and
waiting for the boot to open.
In spite of all the stereotypes about reluctance towards foreigners, the English turn out to be an extreme
polite and open nation.
