It's not just Brits. I live in S. Spain (NOT in a tourist area) and whatever the weather, someone will complain about it and say, "This just isn't normal! The weather's gone mad!" We're in the middle of a drought and if it rains for more than an hour people start moaning about the weather!

At this second that's lashing with rain pushed with the help of the reliable winds. contained in the gap about 3 miles away in spite of the reality that i'll make certain that there is an outstanding wedge of blue sky so it appears like it truly is going to come to an bring about decrease than an hour. very almost what the BBC climate forecast suggested very last nighttime. i'm in North Gloucestershire. Have a contented and blessed Christmas.

I use it as a conversation starter quite often, usually with people who bore me anyway...
The Brits complain i guess because their weather is rarely fine... thats an impression, not a fact, though.
Indeed, weather-complaints are people who tend to seek problems for thier dissatisfaction somwhere there, isntead inside them. Psychologically.

Generally speaking, it's generally too cold and damp. If you can't think of anything to start a conversation, the weather and government are always there to assist.

It definitely is a safe topic of conversation, and no one uses that like the British and Irish.
Two people can agree, they feel good about one another, it gives a starting point if you don't know the other person well.....very useful, don't you think?

Because were so English and its what we do, it drives me nuts at times, I want to say have you nothing else to whinge about, still I guess listening to them go on about the weather is better than listening to them go on about their problems.

One good thing about the weather... its understanding is universal and it is the ultimate ice breaker.
