One thing I've not seen mentioned. I think Brits are unusual in their modesty- boasting is almost a capital offence. Most high earners are very coy about that, except those that need to buy compensation cars and the like. And that's a whole 'nother topic!


Years ago, we were there for a few months and traveled all over. We saw lots of Rolls Royces in London, probably many corporate cars. When we got to Scotland, the big Daimler was the car of choice. It was big and elegant, but not quite as showy.

I think most of us seem to be reserved, but if you choose to start a conversation we would be more than pleased to comply.

That's been my experience.
