Quote from romik:
I am used to people speaking their mind, in England an overwhelming majority prefer not to, hence my minimalistic statement. I am aware that it is part of English "heritage" - their etiquette, unlike in Russia, where a presence of etiquette standard is to be argued about, when one takes into consideration a majority, not just smaller elite group of people and in that case it's not high ratio favouring the ones that do know how to drop a compliment when required.
