Hmm. Well in England the hosts do everything, and pay for everything for guests/friends etc. So maybe they expected that back?

Not too sure what you mean though, as me and everyone I know in England is the complete opposite to scrounging off people...we always pay for each other or ourselves, and always try to be the one that pays for everything when out with friends but at the same time knowing if we didnt have much money someone will pay for that person. A very gentlemenly thing :)

However, maybe chavs and working class (ironic name for them...in ye olden days they used to work hard) people are the opposite. They sit around all day getting an allowance from the government for not having a job (being lazy and sitting in a pub all day).
