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’d love to get away from Americans, but I unfortunately live in the US 😂 And I’m perpetually embarrassed by my fellow country people.
I understand though. I have heard many British tourists complaining bitterly about the lack of “proper tea” in various countries. I wonder why people like that even bother traveling.
i need good coffee, or at least something better than nescafé, even when i travel. now i just take an aero press and my own coffee and grinder with me
