London, Sept 11 : Eight out of 10 Britons use current climatic conditions as the opening line when meeting a stranger, a new survey has found.

Queueing is their another favourite habit, with 70 percent of Brits favouring to wait in line compared to some of their European neighbours who favour pushing and shoving.

When it comes to takeaways, traditional fish and chips are still at the top, while more than half of Britons say their favourite luxury afternoon treat is a cream tea, reports The Daily Express.

The survey - by Debenhams - also found that the second-favourite conversation opener for Brit men is sport. But for women it is sex. (ANI)
