Watching the English

Kate Fox’s anthropological approach is fascinating—did she choose this method to reveal the hidden rules that often go unnoticed?

Some of the behaviors described made me wonder how much of our daily interactions are shaped by unspoken rules. Am I the only one questioning these norms now?

The examples range from polite gestures to social awkwardness, but I’m curious how she determined which quirks truly define English manners versus individual differences.
