the gentle English manner

The English gentleman seems to have disappeared in the capital. Rushing in and out of the London underground, it is the best way to learn a cultural lesson.

'Sorry, may I pass?' The train just approached the platform, I asked the man who blocked the stairway.

'If you want to pass, you have to say excuse me!'

Obviously a sorry was not enough for the englishman who was blocking everyone's way with his enormous body and his very enormous luggage.

Every day you learn something in this funny capital.
