Re: Trip to England! Tips.

[replicantangel]

I lived there for a summer abroad, and I think that if she's doing touristy things, she'll mostly be with other tourists and not have a lot of time to annoy actual Brits. I only remember confusing a few Londoners, not annoying them (I am also fairly quiet/polite, especially when traveling). Most of the issue was colloquialisms - I knew pound and even quid, but I had to convert American weights to "stone" a couple times in my head.

I do remember one thing that endlessly pissed off Londoners and that was tourists meandering down sidewalks at a slow pace (or god forbid, stopping!) during rush hour or lunch when everyone else is trying to get to work. I'm a fast walker and I still got yelled at a couple times for not moving fast enough.

I did tick off a couple waiters with wanting ice water and refills. Those things aren't common in England, even during heat waves (like when I was there). Forget free soda refills. If your mom drinks beer or wine though, she'll be fine, because they're happy to bring another round!

TBH the walking thing sounds rather unforgiving of people with physical issues (and this isn't always visible). :/ Though I never had that problem, so. OTOH just having visited London, I can tell you that it was sometimes so crowded or rushed I would kind of inadvertently push people or cut them off without even realizing. I almost caused some poor guy to fall because he made the grave mistake of existing. O_o So while I hope intentionally pushing/yelling at people isn't a thing, it IS crowded and sometimes your impulse to catch up with your friends or make the underground train trumps other people's personal comfort (as much as you wish it didn't).
