I have found that many English people are very uncomfortable in asking their guests to remove their shoes even though they prefer shoes to come off.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917325171084510413.post-85371553164155552012-09-26T17:05:35.843+01:002012-09-26T17:05:35.843+01:00Good to hear about your personal shoe culture :=)....Good to hear about your personal shoe culture :=). I am aware that I am generalising a fair bit, but while shoes ALWAYS come off in Sweden, it's more acceptable to keep them on in England in my experience.Louise Halvardssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038924529261834908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917325171084510413.post-16113007825372364852012-09-26T16:35:53.679+01:002012-09-26T16:35:53.679+01:00I live in the UK and whilst I agree with you that ...I live in the UK and whilst I agree with you that it's a nit a uniform policy that shoes come off at the do, I have found that most people do take their shoes off and also prefer that their guests do the same. It's something I have always done both as a child growing up and as an adult in my own homes. My partner and I have just moved into a new house and we take off our shoes and wear slippers. We live in the country so it's taken for granted that shoes come off. Many people here bring slippers to change into. I have never understood why anyone would choose to wear shoes in the house.Marknoreply@blogger.com
