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’m sort of British. My main complaint actually is that it feels like Brits avoid each other like the plague when they meet abroad. I live in the US and my city (Northeast) probably has thousands of Brits and yet it feels like there’s a pact to avoid each other and make minimal eye contact. It’s a marked difference to other large immigrant groups like the Germans who seem to always be around each other
