First off: wow, apologies for the massive intro, but there was a lot to say! Secondly: here are some of the British manners I've experienced that might be seen as rude in Canada. Moving to Canada (or visiting?) make sure to avoid using these British manners!

Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a KZfaq video every Tuesday and an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 6:30pm GMT on Twitch.

Alanna, you need to come down to sunny Bournemouth and check out the beach! I was born down these parts, but a surprising amount of people around here have moved here from Kent, mainly to get away from the city and be closer to the beach. Hope you are keeping busy and staying well during this lock-down! And thanks for the tips!

Haha, in fairness a lot of people in Canada don't do this. But imo general pleasantries, a nod and a smile when passing someone on a trail or a walk is considered like ground zero politeness. Soo in general if you ignore people in situations like that people may consider you akward or rude. But trust me I live in a small town in Canada and on the main streets most people won't say hello or smile. if you are in a cafe a person might make some small talk to you but they won't accost you on the street. Most people can pick up vibes too and if they say something and you only give a kurt reply they will understand and leave you alone. I would say people who force conversations are usually considered the super annoying ones buuuur they do exist. Sometimes it is just a really extroverted person who doesn't get other people are not the same OR unfortunately they are entitled people who don't accept other people having different boundaries. It is weird being Canadian in other countries because that general openness is default for many of us. I am introvert but to me a smile, hello, cool dress ect.is so normal to me it isn't real talk. I like to made at ease so I try to make others feel at ease and a few pleasantries does that. I apent time in Germany and it was a culture shock to me when people were befuddled at pleasantries. Especially customer service workers. This is true in the UK too. Brits are less rigid about this than Germans and a store worket will talk to you in the UK but they won't be as overly friendly.

To clarify, smiling on the street is normal but on a busy main street it is not as common. If you make eye contact you may smile of say Hi, but it isn't as frequent as some make out. If you are at a bus stop, waiting in a waiting room ect. small talk is pretty common though. I have taken far more silent bus rides or train rides than chatty ones than otherwise though just for perspective. I like to call people who force you into conversations on public transport as Hostage takers lol.

There are regional cultural variations in Canada, particularly regarding friendliness. Folks from the Prairies and Atlantic Canada have a reputation for being particularly friendly to strangers. Ontario and BC are roughly the norm. Quebeckers, oddly enough, tend to resemble the Brits more on approaching strangers and eye contact (other Canadians think of Quebeckers as stand-offish, the French think they are absurdly in-your-face friendly - I suspect it's all relative but Quebeckers a little more guarded with strangers than other Canadians, but perhaps a little less so than southern England). Having grown up mostly in Quebec, I can totally relate to the British norms. It took a while to get used to random strangers just making small talk when I moved to Ontario. I got used to it but it's not my default comfort zone. Every culture has its own norms on social bubbles.

Nah, the Irish have slightly better swear words and creative turns-of-phrase -- particularly people from North inner city Dublin (rougher area). The strong accent emphasises the hilarity. There's a comedienne named Enya Martin (she's on KZfaq) who does it justice very well, and the movie 'The Snapper' (with Colm Meaney) depicts it excellently too. Out of people from the UK, the Welsh, Geordies and Mancunians can be brilliant and absolutely hilarious when they swear. Again, the accents emphasise the hilarity somehow.

I think the misunderstanding occurs because toilette is a French word and in French it means 'washroom' or 'restroom'. So the British is using the word with the intended French meaning. While in America and Canada, toilet refers to the commode. So when someone says 'I need to go to the toilet' it comes across as being impolite because we prefer using an euphemism like 'restroom' or 'washroom'.

There's definitely banter in Canada (like: gentle verbal ego jousting - so the loser's dignity takes a superficial bruising). But unless you're a roving manual labourer or a minor league hockey player, you wouldn't typically banter with someone you don't know. In public we may casually chat with someone we don't know, but most people will keep it gracious, and accept a stranger's persona at face value. Whereas _some_ familiar groups or families might be in the habit of knocking each other down a peg.

A poll was released by a major newspaper here yesterday and found that support for becoming a republic has crashed again, and it'll take decades to recover. Also, I'm not sure if anyone has told you, but hypothetically, if you're overseas and need help from an Embassy or Consulate, because you're Canadian you are allowed to use the Australia consulate. Aus and Can have had this agreement for a while, simply because Canada knows South America MUCH better than we do and Australians are experts on Asia. (and by Asia, I mean East Asian, not India or Pakistan.

Do Canadians have baths in the public "bathrooms" too? Wasn't there a phrase "I'm going to powder my nose" for going to the toilet? However, its possibly considers less appropriate now due to connotations with snorting class A drugs ..
@johnmckenzie4639

In my experience, most public toilets in Canada are referred to as washrooms. And like Alanna said, in the US they use restroom, which makes little sense. You're hardly resting in there. Now in homes, a small room with just a toilet and sink is often called a powder room. Hence, "I'm going to powder my nose." Oddly, it's also considered a "half" bathroom when describing a home that's for sale. "Three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths." Oh, and it's usually sold by a realtor or real estate agent, where as in the UK it's an estate agent.

Interesting hearing the comparison between England and Canada. I've grown up in Australia and we sit somewhere between the two. I often say toilet but because of American TV have switched to saying bathroom. A lot of Aussies say "dunny" but this is becoming more slang these days. Toilets can be found in bathrooms or a separate room, there's no real standard. Banter is a big part of Aussie culture, especially among friends. It can get pretty harsh at times but is all in good fun. We are pretty over the top with swearing, probably even more than the British. I heard sentences where most of the words are just f*ck/f*cking. The word "c*nt" has become a national icon although is still avoided in polite conversation. Friends frequently use "good c*nt" or "mad c*nt" as a term of endearment, but if someone is called "a fucking c*nt" then it's intended to be super offensive. Calling someone "love" is fairly uncommon, more common is "darl/darling" which is often used by older/rural/lower class women. Most Aussies will be friendly on the street or when walking past but I find in the big cities like Melbourne and Sydney (especially Sydney) people become far more reserved and it can come across as unfriendly.

Whereas Washroom, bathroom, restroom allows for the person to think you are going to wash your hands, blow your nose, comb your hair or something not involving pooh or pee. and saying "I was in the the toilet", means you were inside the toilet bowl. Maybe swimming or something...IDK.

I really love your comparisons between Canada and England. The word bird for a girl probably came from the old English burde, meaning a maiden. The connection is obscure as it re-emerged in the 1960s. My theory is that it remained in a small local area for centuries, but when in the 60s people from all over moved to London to be where the action was, it caught on with Londoners who heard it in pubs and clubs. It then spread all over because it was used in films and TV soaps. Certainly, I used it in the late 60's and still do today sometimes. It's not derogatory because blokes would call the woman they love, my bird.

I live in Norfolk and we have several dialect words which most of England has never heard even today.

If you say "I'm going to wash up" in Britain people will assume that you are going to wash the dishes, so don't be alarmed if someone offers to help you. Most places are not like London and it's principalities like Kent, thank goodness. For instance, if you were waiting at a bus stop in Sheffield, someone would most likely pass the time of day with you, and not to answer back would be extremely rude. So please don't judge all of the people in Britain as if they all came from Kent. We might only be a little country, but we are very, very, very divers. As for the word "Love" I agree and at the same time disagree with you, It is meant as a term of endearment, but some scumbags use this as a put-down. There are other terms of endearment that we use like.... Duck\Deary\Chicken\Dear\Petal\Pet\Sweet-heart\China\Better-half\Chuck\Poppet\Darling\Sweetie and Hun to name a few.
