Cultural Notes

Saying 'thank you' is fundamental to British politeness. In the UK, people say 'thank you' to bus drivers when getting off, to shop assistants, and in many situations Americans might not. 'Cheers' is used informally in Britain both as a toast (when drinking) and as a casual 'thank you'.
