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?
I live in the UK and I actively avoid people from my country. There was a reason why I moved. Recently I visited my country, my god, I know I would never move back, just listening to people was annoying.
But I do agree with you on the British people too. Some people I know would go on a holiday and never leave the hotel complex. Others complained about the lack of Mr Whippy ice-cream, or they couldn’t find lemonade, or instead of buying some amazing bread, they were still looking for the crappiest toast bread.
