The Bristish often judge people by their table manners and, at the table as in other walks of Bristish life, politeness and distance are priced. While it is acceptable to ask an American host for a second serving, in England you should absolutely wait until you are being offered. It is considered impolite not to finish what is on your plate. Also watch what you say: the British are very distant with strangers and while they love discussing the weather, even such as their age or whether they have any children may be considered too personal. Beware of calling Scottish or Irish people "English". Absolute no-nos are politics and religion, as they are, incidentally, in the United States. On both sides of the Atlantic, it is never a good idea to engage in arguments about either while sitting at the table. You should also eat at roughly the same speed as the others at the table and never start your food before your host does.
