Hayes_Perceptions of British People
The huge importance of the Royal Family is another assumption I had about the British. The importance of the Royal Family is so huge that it makes up all of what it really means to be British. The Royal Family is so popular in Britain that people could just see them on a daily basis because they are so open to the public. A reason behind this assumption is because of seeing videos of the Royal Family during parades and celebrations so I thought that they happened so frequently that people would be able to see them in person often. Also every British person is enraptured with the Queen to the point that anybody who talks negatively about her is looked down upon immediately.
When it comes to the weather in London, it is almost never pretty. Almost every day it will be either a rainy day or an overcast all throughout the day. Since it rains so often, umbrellas are the most popular item British people will own and the umbrellas are very nice and always goes well with formal wear. The temperature is also pretty chilly because of all the rain so there never really is a high temperature day, even in the summer. I remember hearing in America that a temperature of 80 degrees or higher is actually considered unusual. Sunlight too is minimal so British people rarely see sunlight and when they are exposed to sunlight, it actually can be harmful to their skin.
