Britons may like to complain a lot, but they rarely do so right now, explains BBC writer Ruth
Margolis. They would rather grumble (发牢骚)afterward. This is because Britons hate to put some one out and cause any embarrassme nt.

But beware: if this kind of thing happe ns whe n you ' re dining with an America n,
they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not un dersta nd why you find this ashamed.
In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis men ti ons a few other thi ngs that America ns like to do that are offen sive to Brit ons.
