I’m originally from the UK but I’m now in Canada and I hover around some groups of people from the UK online and in person and I swear the Brits are the most whiny people to ever move anywhere. These people genuinely move to places and expect it to be exactly like the UK and when it’s not they shit on the country. Idk if it’s some leftover colonial mindset or something that hasn’t been removed from their psyche?
I’ve heard people complain that there’s no British cream (like the standard whipping cream which exists but is called something different) in stores, British bread, British seasonings, very specific type of curry called the brimingham balti which I don’t think I’ve seen outside of northern England. Amongst many other things and it’s absolutely mind blowing
Genuinely makes me embarassed to be in anyway related to these people. Anyone else get absolutely sick of your old countries people?
Yeah, I live in Mexico and I don’t really mix with the British expat community here. I understand from friends that the US-American and Polish expat communities here are much the same too.
Americans in Mexico are generally awful.
I wouldn’t go that far. What I would say is that expats in general have a tendency to build their enclaves that set themselves apart and that can often be if not unfriendly, certainly uncomfortable for local folks to spend time in.
