The English
Almost every nation has a reputation of some kind. As compared to the French, the Germans, and the Americans, the English are said to be cold, reserved, rather haughty people who do not yell in the street or change their governments as often as they change their underclothes. They are steady, easy-going and fond of sports.
There are certain kinds of behaviour, manners and customs which are peculiar lo the English.
The English are a nation of stay-at-home. There is no place like home, they say, or My home is my castle. These are the sayings known all over the world; and it is true that English people prefer small houses built for family, perhaps with a small garden, though nowadays more and more blocks of flats are being built, and fewer detached and semi-detached houses remain.
The fire is the focus of the English home. While other nations go out to cafes or sit round the cocktail bar the English sit round the fire.
Foreigners often picture the Englishmen dressed in tweeds, smoking a pipe, striding across the open countryside with his dog.
The English arc amongst the most amiable people in the world; they have a genius for compromise; they are generous in small matters but more cautious in big ones.
Apart from the conservatism on a grand scale in which the attitude to the monarchy is typified, England is full of small-scale and local conservatism. The army, municipal corporations, schools and societies have their own private traditions and customs which they are unwilling to change; they like to think of their customs as differentiating them, as groups, from the rest of the world.
The English have been very slow to adopt some reforms, the metric system for example or the twenty four clock for railway timetables. In 1966 it was decided that decimal money would become regular from 1971; bat conservatism triumphed in this matter as well when the tiovernment decided to keep sterling as the basic money unit, with its one-hundredth part a "new penny".
