I guess we have the stiff upper lip/shyness/reservedness thing going on hahaha! :lol:
i am from england, and i agree with you here..but,on the other hand..we have sat with total strangers to eat, when there was no other openings at the tables,when i was with my mum in england.
here, it would not go over so well. i have offered up our extra seats to people standing and waiting for a table, and you would think i had the measles!
