Polite

There’s a Reader’s Digest survey out of world cities showing that New Yorkers are the most polite people.
Toronto does well too, coming in third.
Closer to home, London comes in 17th out of 35 cities.
Reading about this brought to mind a similar survey carried out on British cities that I’d read on the BBC website. A little bit of searching later and I’d found it.

Edinburgh was the only Scottish city they looked at and it didn’t perform well in terms of politeness.
I’m looking forward to more polite experiences in Canada.
I’m fed up of people serving at shop tills here who don’t even look at you when you are buying something. It seems like abnormal behaviour to me, refusing to look at the person who is handing money over to you, but it’s becoming more common. { Last Page } { Page 3 of 7 } { Next Page } |
