SAYING SORRY
4.1.
The word "sorry" comes from the Old English "sarig" meaning "distressed" or "full of sorrow". It was first recorded in the 13th century. Originally "sorry" was used only to express sorrow, however, as time passed British people started to use it also to apologise or show politeness. That's why nowadays Brits often say "sorry" when they themselves have done nothing wrong, for example when someone else steps on their foot, or when something is not their fault, for example when the weather is bad.

4.2.
A recent survey of 1,600 British people and Americans showed that there are 15 British apologies for sneezing or bumping into someone in comparison to 10 American ones. The British are also more likely to apologise if they are late. 84% of Brits apologise in this situation compared to 74% of Americans.
4.3.
It seems that it's important for British people to show good manners towards others in public. They feel uncomfortable when they have to tell you something negative directly, so if they want to disagree or express a different opinion, they usually start by saying "sorry", hoping it will make their comment less unfriendly and you won't be offended.
4.4.
In a recent experiment carried out in the US, an actor was asked to stop strangers on a rainy day to ask if he could use their mobile phone to make a call. In half of the cases, the actor began: "Sorry about the rain". When he did so, most people let him use their mobile, but when he simply asked to borrow their phone, only 9% agreed. So starting with "sorry" is a good way to get people on your side!
