Question

Why are the british so concern about the weather?

Answer 1

because we have nothing else to talk or moan about

Answer 2

Tut tut, looks like rain.

I never really noticed that the British cared about the weather.

Answer 3

I think they consider it a "safe" topic of conversation, especially  with people they don't know well. Some topics can cause bad feelings, depending on your point of view.

Answer 4

Because it's unfair, that the rest of the world gets good weather and we don't.

Even the countries that are colder have better summers then us. Maybe God hates Britain.

Answer 5

If you were British you wouldnt have to asl ;-)

Answer 6

Because we're Human

Answer 7

Because our weather is terrible!

Answer 8

It's the English who like to complain about the weather.  They've only been in these islands for about 1,500 years and haven't come to grips with the fact that it rains more that it did in Saxony.  The Irish, Scots and Welsh don't have a problem with it.

Answer 9

we dont realy dats jus old people lol xx

Answer 10

Who said the British people are concerned about the weather?  What utter nonsense.  We're not concerned in the least.  We are totally obsessed about the weather and go on about it endlessly.  It is the opening gambit to any conversation between two Brits who meet at the bus stop or at the checkout at the super market.

Here in UK if it's not raining then it's pouring.

An American pal of mind described the UK climate thus.

For the first 364 days of the year it rains and on the 365th day it snows.

That pretty well sums it up really.

The Island of Britain is the only place I know of where the weather for all four seasons can happen in a single day, but not just one single day, oh dear me no, every blessed day.

Join the queue and stop moaning.

Answer 11

Because we want to know when the weather will be good.  That's why we constantly check the forecast.

Answer 12

Because it's so changeable.

And because most people here seem to make their plans around the weather forecast.

And because it's something innocuous to start a conversation with.

But the weather's never right! If it's warm, you hear that it's too hot. If it's a little bit colder, you hear that it's not as warm as it was a few days ago. You get 10 minutes of rain on an otherwise 100% day they complain about the rain. And if it's a super pleasant day, they say oh, it won't last!

The trick is not to say anything positive about the weather without dampening it with something negative.

Answer 13

cause they have bad weather.

Answer 14

because they have nowt else to complain about... when they get abroad, they roast themselves and end up looking like lobsters..

Answer 15

Because the weather is really bad and not many people can afford a holiday and would like the weather to be better here.

Plus we always moan about weather..
