Looking for information on English-speaking countries' manners and customs

I'm searching for information on English-speaking countries' manners and customs, such as what are their table manners? What flowers should people present for a baby's birth (or weeding, visiting hospital, going to funeral)? How to accept or refuse invitation? What's the origin of one specific custom? I've searched Google, but found few websites with such introductions, so hope to get some help here. Thanks.
