Brits contemplate People and Germans the rudest friends, [but] in my view, Brits can be taught one thing from People. There’s that pretty sketch in [the 1970s British sitcom] Fawlty Towers the place there are two diners sitting on the desk complaining concerning the meal to one another saying, ‘The meat is horrible!’ after which Basil Fawlty comes over and says, ‘All the things alright?’ They go, ‘Oh, sure, pretty! Thanks a lot!’ Whereas if there’s an issue. an American has much less resistance to speak about it sooner.
