At least 90% of whinging, whining, complaining and moaning comes from British mouths acording to famous Brit vlogger.

[Goat]

Good afternoon.

Very interesting take from famous Pattaya Vlogger, tech guru, love matchmaker, historian and businessman Dan Cheeseman.

 

 

 

 

i dont always agree with Dan but on this I do.

 

Why do I care?

Because the Thais dont like it and unfortunately most of Thai people do not know if a farang is Australian, British or whatever. 

So the whinging Brits annoy the lovely local people and it affects all of us.

Plus if you have to listen to it it can really put a dampner on a good time or make a difficult situation even worse.

 

Thais are not known for their complaining or sweating the small stuff. Mentally strong.

 

Ironically I often hear these Brits complaining that their own country has been taken over by immigrants who will not assimilate or learn the language. But they act like this in Thailand.

 

So i request that the Brits either pull their heads in and learn some manners. Or just return home and let us all live in peace and harmony.

Indeed.  The "famous vlogger" is getting repetitive and tedious.  Who are his videos aimed at?

[Chris Daley]

''tech guru, love matchmaker, historian and businessman'' so we make up titles now?

Yet, in Australia and New Zealand, going back to the 70s, (when I was a teenager and young adult) the English had a nickname "whinging Poms". I didn't meet many, but the ones I did meet were true to form. You don't get a label like this without there being some substance to it. I didn't make up the name and I had no idea who did and how it had been used... it might have started at the dawn of the British colonization of these 2 nations.

 

I think it is a general British personality trait. Whinging makes them feel good. It's part of their DNA

We aren't immigrants though!

[theshu25]

Clickbait saying famous british blogger.when in fact it is a nobody.

[Chris Daley]

Yes we have more to miss when we move abroad.  The finest food in the world, a rich refined culture and arts, perfect spoken English, chivalry, manners, gentlemanship.

 

I think Americans can get by without spray on cheese and belching loudly.

Exactly. Though Brits would never admit it here amid their constant whinging, on a different forum one of them notes:

 

     Yeah, us POMS do whinge. I think they all do it in the UK now to such a degree thats its the norm!

 

You've surely heard that old Australian joke:

 

How can you tell that a planeload of Brits has just landed?

Because the whining continues after the engines are off!

Actually you whinge just as much at home. See admission above. Maybe it's the weather. ;)

PERFECT? lol  dont you mean perfectly? adverb with verbs... not adjectives. 

except for received pronunciation which was created out of a need for brits to understand each other... i can say after having travelled england that most dialects arent that easy to understand and most of england speaks in dialects except for those who have learned received pronunciation.

 

goat... i kinda have to agree with you on this one. but... there are some cool brits (many) and i think of britmantoo as an example. but i do have to say that in the staff rooms i have worked with many english nationalities that the brits did seem to have something to iron out the most...

 

[scubascuba3]

The aussies are whinging about whinging on this thread, as expected

[QuantumQuandry]

I don't want to whinge about whinging so let me just say...

 

I completely, 100%, enthusiastically and empathetically support the right of all nationalities to whinge...any time and anywhere.

 

Provided, of course...that I am not there.

He's an interesting guy though I can't work out his motivation.This particular video is ludicrous focusing as it does on Pattaya sexpats breakfast sausages.That is the joy of Dan's videos - the juxtaposition of vaguely philosophical pondering and the absurd reality of his Pattaya life.He's obviously a good man and a responsible father.I think he also has a genuine entrepreneurial instinct.What he needs to do is get away from the scummy Pattaya environment and move up a few notches.How embarrassing it must be to be flogging those horrible Pattaya condos and third rate restaurants.Maybe some elocution lessons too as that sarf London accent is going to put a lot of serious business people off though probably not in Pattaya where it is pretty much the norm.

What's the difference between a Brit and a 747 ?

 

The 747 stops whining when it gets to Sydney.

[georgegeorgia]

Depends what they're whinging about I guess

 

Everytime I went to that Canterbury tales bookshop there was always a group of pommy farangs saying the same thing 

"The immigrant in the UK get free housing etc etc , whilst elderly have no electricity etc 

I could recite word for word what that were going to talk about before I got in there !

I was not born in a country whose native language is English. At school we were taught classic English. Unfortunately here in Thailand I experienced that it is impossible to have a fluent conversation with a native English speaking individu. Is it their accent, their speedness, their dialect, their level of education, I don't know. On the contrary when conversating with any other European people I understand despite our sometimes ridicoulous accents. Can anyone explain?

Goat by the look of it. Hangs on Dans every word.

British people are the best at most things, so naturally we will top the moaning list as well

True, Europeans speak better English than the Brits with their dialects, idioms, and thick accents. So do the Indians. I like to say the Russians to p*ss off all the bigots, but in fact the Russian tourists speak little to no English. Russian techies I've known working in the USA were extremely fluent, however.

In the early 90ies I had some Russian friends from Moscow. They spoke almost perfect English, much better English than mine. They all had a university degree, I don't know if related...
