I feel this post is also an example of the the British past time of having a moan.

It's a stereotype that Brits can be miserable and complain a lot, but the truth is most of us just enjoy having a moan about ultimately inconsequential things.

The example that comes to mind is just how many of the blokes I know will complain about reality shows like Married at First Sight or Love is Blind, yet will sit down with their partner each evening to watch them.

The uninformed might suggest they simply don't watch the shows if they're annoyed by them, but if they didn't watch they'd have nothing to moan about, and that's half the fun!

While I'm sure the blog post was made primarily for sparking discussion around the point of la guage differences, I wouldn't be surprised if simply having a moan about something perceived as mildly irritating but otherwise inconsequential wasn't also a driving factor. :)
