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 know some wonderful people from the UK who have moved to my country.

    Also hands down the worst tourists and expats I encounter are all from the UK.

    I really don’t get the expats who insist on using brit terms for things when they know the locals don’t know these words but seem to get genuinely mad when you point it out.
