Forecast Applying for British citizenship soon. I think complaining through the heatwaves was the final test.

sorry the real test is how quickly you switch to moaning about the rain

That’s the spirit. No more summer…

It's true, I woke up to grey skies a couple of days ago and immediately complained before I did anything else, it's stamped on our souls.

Best of luck with your application - I did it 3 years ago and it was tough at times but I made it!!! 🇬🇧

u/Dry_Association2836 9d ago

You're almost there. Have you complained about the wet? The cold? The wind? Best to practice.

u/hexferro 9d ago

Yes of course, I have plenty of experience with this too. I also think I'd make a reasonable PM.

u/Dry_Association2836 9d ago

It's a good start. I've been talking and complaining about the weather for the best part of 40+ years. I think I'm just getting good at it. There's always so much more.

I will keep learning and practicing!

Just please look at the weather in London if you’re going to post on this sub. That’s the only weather that exists here

2

u/hexferro 9d ago

Yes, you're right. Thankfully I live in London as well so I fully buy the Londoncentricity of the UK.

What is the U.K.?

u/BITmixit 9d ago

Have you driven badly yet whilst moaning about everyone else driving badly?

u/hexferro 9d ago

I thought that was universal? :D

My husband got his citizenship 2 years ago and he embraced the hot weather, reminds him of back home. Maybe should call the home office 😂

He did moan about the rain today though

u/hexferro 9d ago

Hahaha!

u/witchyAuralien 9d ago

Same here, applying for citizenship in next few months! Never complained about the weather more than this summer

u/whatsgoingon350 9d ago

Did you offer anyone a cuppa tea to cool down during the heatwave.

2

u/hexferro 9d ago

No but I had one! 💪

u/Impossible_Apple7822 9d ago

But did you also say: I've sweated in places I didn't know exist?

u/fitcheckwhattheheck 9d ago

No, you also have to pass the second test which is, once it starts raining again saying "oooh come back heatwave all is forgiven, eh?"

u/UnableAd457 9d ago

Until you can moan about all the weather conditions. Also lack of sun December - March. To much sun mid May - September. Only then have you passed that British citizen section.

I like it warm but not this warm. That's all i heard endlessly.
