I'll be in Portsmouth for a bit, and was surfing the internet for all the information I could soak up about Portsmouth and the UK in general. Just a few questions I have from browsing:

1) Is it true that you shouldn't tip? To anyone at anywhere?

2) The service industry is particularly horrible, you are all accustomed to waiting and horrible customer service, and that as a customer you should treat whoever is serving you with contempt and disdain?

3) Don't wear white socks because only pikeys (ie Snatch?) wear white socks?

That's all I got right now, but I am definitely confounded by this information. Maybe I'm being a schmuck, but I don't really know if this is true. If you have any more advice about just British things, being British, Portsmouth, London, or anywhere else in the souther UK, let me know. Thanks!
