Brits are not born knowing how to do this. The first lesson is provided by the midwife when she tells your mum what a lovely little boy/girl she has produced. If her smile is somewhat strained, the first lesson has been delivered.
"Right" or "Right, then" just means it's time for action. Yes, it can mean "it's time you went home", but it can also mean "it's time to go and find a taxi to get to the restaurant", or "lets leave this pub and go to the next one" or "enough talking, time for bed"!
The word which really fooled my American wife for a very long time was 'Alright'. This is because the meaning is not in the word itself, but the way it's said, and a change in tone can reverse the meaning completely. If you show someone your new something or other and they say 'That's alright' with just a little enthusiasm, it means they like it. However, if you ask them what they think and they say 'It's alright', it usually means they're not at all impressed and you should dig out the receipt.
The same word can also be used as a substitute for 'Hello'. If someone greets you with just the word 'Alright', the correct response is just to repeat 'Alright' back to them and continue with your day. They're not asking if you're alright - they have no interest in how you're feeling - it just means 'Hi'.
We Brits try not to be too serious & usualy make a joke about most things I once asked my lat husband why he never took any thing seriously & his reply was"being too serious made people miserable" .He was known for his funny one liners & everone we knew said he cheered them up & made them laugh.I miss him for this so much BUT both my children have inherited his sense of humour.😂

I'm British, and I would only suggest lunch if I genuinely wanted to share lunch with the other person. I have many times thrown people out of my home bluntly, if they have cheesed me off. We can be very direct, when we want to be. Then again, I was raised in a working class community. Middle class people are different, so I have found.
My mother lived during the war. She was an amazing Cook. We used to come home from school a get the whiff of fresh bread. She made raspberry buns. They were a bun lake bun with a big dint in the middle filed with strawberry jam. We called them sore earlies. She made Yorkshire puds in bread tins. That is a starter. Love your vids.😘
