People generally queue when waiting for a bus. It is ok to eat and drink something while walking down the street, unless you want to seem posh.

  13. Your mission Design a leaflet for foreign visitors to tell them about London life and London people. You may want to tell them about: Where to stay transport Eating out Queuing pubs traditional English food

  14. Please do not tell them: In England we eat fish and chips with chocolate sauce. If you pass a policeman show your respect by tapping him on the bum. You will only be allowed into McDonalds in full evening dress.
