THE HOW TO BE BRITISH COLLECTION REVIEW
By Daniel Kardashev, 10b

31. Shopping

When I was reading this chapter, I was really shocked… The British invented the idea of the fixed price to avoid the embarrassment caused by bargaining for things. They do not like pushy sales assistants, which is why shopping in hot countries can be such an ordeal for Brits. The author recommends visitors NEVER TO TRY to beat down the price of an article. He even advises the visitor to Britain to pay a little more than the asked price. It’s unbelievable! Is it true or is it famous British humour? In my country, there are a lot of people who will be looking for a lower price to save3 or 4 hryvnas.
