You may visit England's most beautiful gardens, stately homes and famous castles to explore the best English lifestyles. But what is really the average English lifestyle?
To get to know real English everyday lifestyle in a statistical manner you must most probably refer to sites like projectbritain.com where you find an answer to many questions in that respect.
English lifestyle may be derived from stereotypes like
- “Beer, honesty, Bulldog-type, Royal Family, Cricket, the Weather" said by Dickie Bird (Famous English cricket umpire)
- "England is a land of beer, football and bad weather."
Breakfast
One typical English tradition is a rich breakfast which consists of sausages, plain rashers of bacon, bacon and poached eggs, ham and eggs, omelets, plain boiled eggs, poached eggs on toast, muffins, toast, marmalade, butter as derived from a Victorian home prescription, which is no more valid although English breakfast around the world is made up of all or some of these items.
Sundays
E.g. what are English people are eating on Sundays? The answer is Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Or what are English discussing when they gather together in pubs after working time? Not politics, which is the number one subject for Germans, English are more interested in subjects concerning work or family chit-chat.
The isolated situation on an island far away from the European Continent is enhancing an English bias to splendid isolation. This may be a reason for the distance to European Community rules and the Euro as common European currency. English do not want to give up their beloved heritage which includes the Pound Sterling as well as the Measuring System still using miles, foot and inch to measure length, barrels, gallons and pints for volumes and the common horsepower.
Special Days
Some of the Notable Special Days in England are:
- St. George's Day on 23rd April. It is England's national day.
- Halloween on October 30th
- 26th December called Boxing Day.
A lot more may define English Lifestyle, but this should be found out in the country itself.
