Whining Expats - Again!

Aaargh! This is a topic which is driving me nuts.

Why oh why do these people think that they have to justify their overseas life by bashing the UK?

In the last couple of days, my mum's inbox has been overrun by an email discussion (by people who seem to think that everyone in their address book is interested) about how Britain is going down the pan.

Now, ordinarily this would not be blogworthy or interesting, or even that irritating, but the vast majority of these people haven't lived in the UK for at least 20 years!

What do they know?

And why do they care?

And, possibly more to the point, why does this irritate me so much?!

Well, you probably get irritated because you - unlike these short-sighted and rather pathetic whiney bastards - actually have the intelligence to realise that there are good and bad things about every nation. Quite frankly there's nothing more irritating than someone who has a glass perpetually half empty even when there's a full bottle sitting right next to them. I mean - think positively for God's sake people!
