English traditions

One of the most peculiar features of life in England which immediately strikes any visitor to this country is the cherishing and preserving of many traditions, sometimes very archaic as they may seem. In England traditions play a very important part in the life of the people. Englishmen are proud of their traditions and have kept them up for hundreds of years. For instance, on Sundaystheatres and shops are closed, people do not get letters and newspapers. Very few trams and buses run in the streets of London on Sundays.
