Question

When you come to Britain for the first time, it’s important to know something about British shops. In some countries shops close for lunch but in Britain they usually open all day. They open at 9:00a.m. and they close at 5:30 or 6:00 p.m.

British shops and shopping habits are also different from those in other countries. For example, in Britain you can buy postage stamps only at a post office. You can buy cigarettes in many different places, but you’ve got to be at least 16 years old. You can buy film for your camera at the chemist’s. Most British families don’t buy their milk or newspapers from a shop; a milkman and a paperboy or a papergirl sends them to their houses.

In almost all towns there are restaurants, fish shops, a post office, clothes and shoe shops and food shops. Here are some of the best-known shops that you can find in High Street of a British town.
