The next time your boss tells you that you are a whinging pom you know it's time to migrate from England. Serious point though, at times a good moan can be good for you. I suppose women have an advantage as well when they have a good old 'greet' (see I've picked up some of the lingo).

Don't worry it's genetically hardwired and beyond a pom's control.

Any Jocks had to endure the whinging Pom stereotype along with our southern (or not quite so northern depening on your point of view) buddies? I'm kinda hoping to be living with more familiar jibes like meanness and a predilection for skirt wearing.
