But then we'd moan about it because it would be for moaning.

Yes, the UK are a nation of Moaners. We moan about everything and always try to blame someone else for the crap that happens in our day.
Petrol prices have gone up - governments fault
Road delays - governments fault
Crappy wages - governments fault
job losses - governments fault.

I woke up with a head ache and really bad bed hair - now that is defo the governments fault. :wink:

just to confirm; I ain't no politician - in fact I think the government are a bunch of haemorrhoids walking around in suits. oooops now I'm moaning.
I tell you what is worth moaning about, when some one constantly nicks your wheel trims of the car that you bought out of your hard earned cash.
And you can't do a thing about it - apart from keep replacing them.
Now that is worth a moan. :smile:

Moaning is a good way to make conversation. For example with people who are also waiting for a bus that is painfully late.

SADLY many people are the same..they all moan just about everything instead of being pro-active (doing something towards solving the problems they complain about) so no, definitely not, British people are not the best at this.
Happy me, I'm one of those positive and pro-active people.

Just another similar thing between Norwegians and Brits. Norwegians love to complain about everything as well. And has been called " a nation of moaners." (even though Norway is a very good place to live). That's probably why I'm complaining about it now, tehe. The weather is a very popular subject to talk/complain about! For some reason we manage to be very surprised when it snows. I live on the west coast, so it doesn't snow a lot here. It's more like Southern England. But people are still shocked when they see snow, and then they crash or something and blame the government. You're bound by law to change to winter tyres though.

Though luckily, even if many are surprised and there are accidents. Everything doesn't stop when we get any snow, and people don't go nutters. Last winter was insane, but then I saw loads of people skiing to work! People make the best of it, I think.'
I think the airport in Oslo is on "top" when it comes to dealing with snow and such. It hardly ever closes down.

The UK is definitely not alone when it comes "moaning".
