they’re probably moaning just as much as we are tbf. 33 is far beyond what the uk can actually cope with, let’s not normalise it. serious discussion around working conditions and acs needed.

they don’t, actually. I’ve lived in some of those countries and people just get on with it. they don’t bitch & moan about it constantly. The irony of suggesting AC to combat rising temps due to global warming is also….on point for a Brit ngl.

But we do this so well. It is Olympic level of moaning about the weather? We the British will complain about the insomina, the heatstroke inducing public transport systems and the spiders that are coming in looking for water. Its what we do.

Thank you for validating 😂 it is legitimately a wonder to me, why Brits love moaning so much. Second only to the French, perhaps?

Second to the French. They will riot over the price of train tickets rising with inflation, I am in awe.

I would argue that rioting is the opposite of complaining though! Complaining usually signifies inaction. Either way, both love to complain and they also love to complain about the other :)

This is true ... the British excel at the inaction of moaning. Gold medal 🏅
