Tell everyone your name is Randy and introduce yourself that way. Your real first name means idiot in British slang.

That is good advice.

Alternatively you could say you're "Horace... of Jasper & Horace fame". (101 dalmations)

In British business meetings, clothes maketh the man - you really need to wear suspenders, and make a point of telling everybody you're doing so.

Maybe snap them self importantly while you say it.

As long as I’m wearing a suit I think I should be able to say anything I want.

I don't think much of a gift from the airport.

Oh, i think about it plenty. Not kindly, but plenty.

Works for The Resident.

Be sure to eat your food using only your fork prongs up. Only use your knife to cut food then immediately put it aside. Under no circumstances should you use your knife to put food on your fork. That is is the role of bread.

As for gifts, I suggest a tin of spotted dick.

Thanks. My company is cheap and I'll be flying coach. While I'm there, I'll be in an office in meetings all day. I don't anticipate having much fun, but I decided to go anyway. It'll be over soon, and I'll be glad I went.

Get her a really groovy mini-skirt at some fab boutique.

Hopefully you're close to the city itself rather than on an industrial estate - it's definitely worth trying to get a day in the town itself if you can, even if it's just to take in the architecture.

Do you know somebody at the university? A dinner in one of their colleges is an unforgettable experience.

This has nothing to do with the university. A contracting company we work with has its offices there.

@Horace Hopefully you have some free time or evenings to explore.

But I know that those types of trips after a long day, you just want to go back to your room and relax.

What, and miss the chance at having a warm, flat, beer?
