The formal British way to greet someone is 'Good morning, good afternoon or good

evening' and, if you want to ask something, 'Excuse me please

In Britain, every part of the country has its own way of speaking English. People in

Yorkshire sound very different to people in Surrey; a Somerset accent is very

different from any Scottish accent.

Most people in Britain can guess where someone comes from by the way they

speak, either by their accent or by the words they use.
