Forget the Ten Commandments, we've got our own unspoken code. Rank these homegrown moral rules from most sacred to most flexible.
Put the items in your preferred order.

Always offer a cuppa
Whether someone's just had a bereavement or a burst pipe, the kettle goes on. Refusing to offer tea is basically a war crime in these parts.

Never jump the queue
Pushing in front of someone waiting for the bus is arguably worse than tax evasion. We'd rather miss the train than commit this cardinal sin.

Apologise even when it's not your fault
Bumped into by a stranger? You say sorry. Trodden on by a shopping trolley? Sorry again. It's less an apology, more a national reflex.

Stand your round at the pub
Ducking out when it's your turn to buy is a betrayal that will be remembered for decades. Even your grandkids will hear about it.

Don't make a fuss
Meal cold? Service dreadful? Just mumble 'lovely, thanks' and stew silently. Complaining out loud feels almost indecent.
Drag the photo to reorder
Be honest: do you make a little 'oof' noise every time you get up off the sofa?
