No wonder the rest of the world laughs at us Brits moaning about the weather

[Proofinthepudding]

Just seen a clip on BBC news of an Asian bride walking down a flooded aisle after a typhoon. Everyone is smiling and just getting on with it.

Yet we are moaning about a bit of rain at the moment. We really have no resilience and considering our weather is going to get more dramatic, we need to change our mindset and coping strategies.

Give it time and I'm sure someone will find having a moan about the weather offensive and people will start being cancelled. Watch out Michael Fish 🤣🤣

I am in Perth, and canceled a bbq last week as it was chucking it down! But its the middle of winter here, what you are saying is correct for nine months of the year. I don't know anyone here who is laughing at the UK (except over Brexit) but I do often have people asking me about how crap British weather is and how do you stand it? I just say why do you think there are so many British and Irish in Perth? We don't moan about the dangerous creatures though, apart from the magpies (we don't really have drop bears on the West Coast).

I work with 2 Polish ladies, they talk about the weather and moan about the rain more than I do. The weather is their most talked about topic.

YANBU such a miserable bunch of selfish bastards.

List the moans on mn alone. Weather, kids, dogs, money, mils, some people would moan if they won the lottery!

Some people even moan about what other people post on MN! Imagine that!

I agree with you OP Brits seem to be burying their heads in the sand re climate change ABC just moaning about "British weather". Even the government is now pro climate change

Sure are you are doing what exactly?

Which reminds me there are some posters who spend so much time moaning about the British on every thread they can.

A worse trait for sure.

No different when posters are moaning about other countries especially the Americans.

Absolute nonsense that we're the only country complaining about it at the moment. I've seen Dutch, Belgians, Irish, Germans complaining about their weather. It's been in the French news a lot about Northern France weather..(Your phone should translate) https://www.bfmtv.com/meteo/intemperies/grisaille-douceur-pluie-quand-esperer-un-retour-des-normales-de-saison-estivales_AV-202307310606.html

And you think they didn't complain about it, worry what they were going to do about the wedding, panic about guests getting there, etc?

You're seeing a snapshot video of a very very small sort of that day and nothing of the run up to it.

It’s always the same few. Every thread.

Oh bore off OP with the Brit bashing.

What do you think British people do if it rains on their wedding day?. They get on with it and enjoy it as much as they can. Idiotic post.

Unpopular opinion but I’ve been loving it! Always hated summer and sun so no moaning here ☺️ this has been my best summer 🤣 I don’t tell anyone irl though!

Oh yeah because it's so nice being wet all the time

Me too.

Love the op trying writing a post to tell us all off !!!

Backfired tragically op!!

Me too... we could get a rain tan! Like a sun tan with first degree scald burns.

We have become a nation addicted to complaining and MN is proof of that.

An observation not a moan. 😆

Germans consider themselves to have a reputation for complaining about the weather. I've a client at the other end of Germany and we often start our emails to each other with 'hope you're coping in this heat' or 'urgh, rain and wind, hope it brightens up for you'.

I do think Brits can be a bit feeble about heat (the moderate kind, not the dangerous kind), and always boggle at the idea that 23°C+ is 'hot'. But complaining about the weather is a social lubricant, as it's a safe topic.

ROFL it's a cultural thing we drink tea, moan about the weather and stand in a queue even if we don't know what it's for. It's the British way.
