  • The broccoli tastes funny
  • The sunscreen doesn't work properly, I get it sent over from Aus
  • The TV is rubbish
  • etc etc etc

So really, no different!

I have an Aussie friend (whom I love dearly) that lived with me in the UK and I have never know anyone moan as much as she did. It actually wore me down.

But that's understandable surely, they're in the UK for heaven's sake....not God's own country!

Remember cuddles in the kitchen, to get things off the ground?

I first encountered the word 'mardy' when living in Leicester. It is apparently a localised term to mean a person is being grumpy, as in:

"Fred was really mardy when I gave him all that additional work to do..."

I had never heard of it prior to moving to Leicester, and until it was explained to me always assumed it had something to do with a French Tuesday.

I'm not sure if it gets used elsewhere in the Midlands, or just in Leicester, though I have heard it being used in the rest of the county.
