Do you know an English person? What are they like? Are they a Gentleman or a Lady? Do they drink tea and eat scones? Do they speak like the Queen?
Maybe they don’t tick all of the boxes above; however they will definitely tick a few.
When I first moved to Malaga, Spain I very much tried to hold on to my culture a little bit even if I did deny it at first. A cup of Earl Grey tea, with milk and “two lumps”, two lumps I hear you cry? Yes, that is what we say instead of two sugars.
The stereotype of the British tea drinker goes back all the way from 17th century and apparently the average UK citizen consumes nearly 2Kg of dry tea each year. We are quite proud of our tea drinking; in fact even those who do not take part in any tea drinking at all will use the expression “as English as a cup of tea” or to describe something that they like they may say “just my cup of tea”, or in opposition “that’s not my cup of tea”.
It doesn’t matter how sophisticated you think your company is.
