When touching down at Heathrow Airport, the first thing tourists would learn is all about British etiquette in a video featuring comedian Stephen Fry. The short film will include tips suck as cheering when drinking glasses are accidentally smashed in a pub, navigating the awkward 'after you' loop and mastering the 'agreement rule' when a stranger comments on the weather.
Visitors who are interested to watch the guide upon arrival can check out the airport's Wi-Fi page or check out its YouTube channel. Fry collaborated with Graham Linehan -- who won a scriptwriting Bafta for The IT Crowd -- to make the 3-minute video.
'From Snowdon to the Scottish Highlands and London to Londonderry, modern Britain is a truly extraordinary place. With a fantastic blend of cultures and traditions, we're a nation renowned for its sense of humour, unspoken rules and little quirks,' Fry would say in the video. He also said that no matter where you go the topic about the weather will be surely brought up and mentioned how the Brits always feel the need to apologise profusely for everything they do.
Heathrow chief executive, John Holland-Kaye, said: 'We know from our passengers that it's important to them to feel they have arrived in the UK from the moment they disembark from the plane, and what better way to do that than with a fun film from one of the country's most beloved comedians.'
