I have a good friend from the Czech Republic. She has lived here for two years and does not intend to stay forever.
She is generally lovely and we get on really well. I don't have a huge social circle so value her frienship a lot. Except for one thing - she is always moaning about Britain.
According to her, everthing is rubbish. The food, the scenery, the housing etc etc. Now I don't consider myself to be a particulary patriotic person and recognise that this country has its faults but it is really starting to wind me up. I almost feel as though she has strode into my living room and started dissing my curtains, if that doesn't sound ridiculous.
I sometimes feel on the point of snapping at her to just "go home" if things are really that shit here which is AWFUL
I am surprised I feel like this since I don't generally feel allegiance to my country, perhaps it's just her negativity.
Should I say something or just keep biting my tongue?
