That's odd. Whining is the national pastime. Hence the Australian insult "Whinging Pom", and the more subtle Kiwi response "Spoken like a true Pom". My memories of the UK were people whining about just about everything (including the weather), but doing nothing about it (in the case of the weather, not much you can do about that - except get used to fact that in the UK it is crap and it changes).
