The most important thing to remember is that despite their shared language, there are many different social customs in England, compared to the US.
For example nobody owns a watch in the UK, and they are actually removed from devices like phones and tablets. Instead, everyone in the country relies on the sound of a large clocktower known as Big Ben, in 'Landan Town', and stops to count the 'bongs' every hour.
So, say it hits midday, it will make 12 'bongs' and everyone will stop what they're doing to count them. When it's finished, most people will shout "Oi! It's twelve bong!" and we'll all know what time it is - twelve bong.
