    I can confirm;

    1) It's important to be polite, for example do not skip any queues. We're famous for our Queues, don't upset the balance.

    2) I can confirm my little brother was sentenced to death for saying "Fuck the Queen".

    3) No - Tipping is not mandatory here, we're actually a civilised nation.

    4) Well, it obviously depends. We're diverse enough to understand, as long as you're not speaking in some long dead ancient tongue from the Mayan Empire.

    5) The North & Birmingham

    I think it is important to behave.

    Yes.

    Ask them how much money you should tip, British people would never rip you off.

    can they understand not british english with accents?
    Only if you have a comedy Nigerian accent.

    what places should i avoid there?
    The Midlands, the North, the West Country, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Essex and parts of Bedforshire.

    This was a good one, especially looking at the result of a certain vote.

    Here in the UK we conduct IQ tests at the airports on anyone with a foreign passport. Essentially it weeds out the stupid people and prevents them from tainting our culture. If you fail the test you don't go to prison they just send you back home.

    Judging from the some of those questions there's a very high probability of you being sent back home on the first plane available.

    Just avoid the Brits and you'll be fine.

    Well... I would say to avoid the Scots too, but we're still trying which ones are actually Scotsman.

    1. If you want to do drugs and drink yourself to death wait until Saturday and head to Newcastle.
    2. Don't insult her majesty or her corgis and you'll be fine.
    3. You don't HAVE to. But you're a dick if you don't.
    4. I didn't understand any part of that sentence
    5. Avoid London, the south and the Barbarians of the far north known as the Scottish. They're like lamer versions of the wildlings from game of thrones.

    If you avoid Brits, then by default you would be avoiding the Scots.

    1. Its punishable by death if you dont like the queen

    2. Its somewhat customary to tip in restuarants but thats it its not like in the USA where everyone expects a tip!

    3. We cant understand our own accents but you should be fine

    4. Avoid London!

    If you are here now, then today you should avoid anywhere where we have erected our pyres upon which we ceremoniously incinerate those who are bucking the system. Best to stay in doors to be honest until tomorrow. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night)

    Last time I was there I almost got into a fight. (a couple of dutch lads held me back and warned me that even a friendly fight isn't tolerated.)

    No. But I don't think you'll be bumping into her.

    Yes, except when taking a cab. (Don't even try to tip a cab driver)

    In London most people are well practiced at hearing various accents, especially the various accents that can be heard from their own. (Cockney and Oxford come to mind) The more rural areas..I believe would find even an "American" accent a curiosity. (American accents are almost as varied as the UK)

    When you are in London make sure you walk like you own the place, cross the street anywhere you want, no matter the traffic and walk in large groups.

    Show appreciation for a job well done, but contrary to the US of A, they get a decent wage, so it's not something you have to do.

    So, you are wondering if they understand your accent? Yes, you have one.
