Which unwritten rule of British life do you think actually keeps society together?
Beyond laws and policies, there are quiet codes we all sort of follow. Rank the ones you reckon really hold the country together.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Holding the door for the next person
That tiny nod as you pass the handle over. It costs nothing but somehow makes the whole day feel a bit more civilised.
B
Saying sorry when someone bumps into you
A national reflex that defuses more arguments than any diplomat could. It's daft, but it works.
C
Round-buying at the pub
An unspoken contract of fairness measured in pints. Dodge your round and the friendship is quietly noted for review.
D
Not nicking someone's washing off the line
Even in a downpour, your neighbour's socks stay untouched. It's less about laundry and more about trust.
E
Making tea for the whole office
Offering a cuppa when the kettle goes on is basic decency. Forgetting Karen's oat milk is borderline treason.
