The Two Different Ways of British leisure life

摘要:英国人素来以保守闻名。不过,尽管这样,他们仍旧会以有趣的方式享受生活。

British people are always famous for their conservative nature. Nevertheless,they also have some interesting ways to enjoy themselves.

Club life started with coffee drinking which began around 1650.Limited to fifty,list of membership of this club includes prominent members of the Commons and the Lords and other distinguished people.However, one of the famous clubs is a non-political club and was given the name the Other Club because its aims always to hear the other man's point of view.

In contrast with club,there is the popular Pancake Day.It is on the first day of Lent, and usually occurs between February 2 and March 8. It is believed to remind that butter and eggs were forbidden during Lent and housewives were anxious to use up all they had left before the start of the frugal period.
