A pint & a moan ?

Well are we like this ? How accurate / inaccurate is this study really ? Do you have anything to add to this that you would say defines the "English". I'm pretty sure our English speaking neighbours (Irish, Scots & Welsh) will certainly have some points to make on us "English" & our ways.

I can't say that I entirely disagree with that report, although they left out brewing up.

In my experience, talking about the weather and asking about cups of tea form 90% of conversational openings.

I also think we have subdivisions too, the eternally optimistic with their "Mustn't grumble, could be worse !" or the flip side the "I told you so ! but you wouldn't listen would you !"

Can't laugh at themselves?

They must have interviewed the 5,000 people in Walford.

LOL.. does seem outdated.. the days of blokes going down the pub for a pint and a moan are long gone.. could be one of the reasons for pubs closing.
