Erm, something like that. 
Something like this:

So really, no different!

Something like this:
Real examples:
- Oooh it's too cold / wet
- Oh it's so expensive here (generally followed by some story based on life in the 1990s maybe about how it's "dollars for pounds"
- 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.

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.
