Do British people really like to talk about the weather?

British people like to talk about the weather. Most people talk about the weather first.

One afternoon, georgebernard shaw was walking in the street when an old gentleman came up to him and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Xiao! Nice day, isn't it? Good afternoon, Mr. Xiao. Nice weather, isn't it? Bernard Shaw replied humorously, "Oh, yes. But in the past two hours, 20 people have lied to me about it. Thank you. " Oh, yes, but in the past two hours, 20 people have told me. Thank you. )"

First of all, it must be admitted that the weather in Britain is really bad, or for a long time in a year, the weather in Britain can't please his subjects, which brings them more trouble than indulgence.

Secondly, talking about the weather is a footnote to people's preconceived notions of "gentlemanly manners" of the British people. They feel polite, procedural and considerate, so they regard the weather as a reasonable opening remark to meet or strike up a conversation, as well as their proper style, or as people's reasonable expectations for the spiritual outlook of the British Empire and even the old colonies.

In addition, if you, like me, have been driving through the monotonous scenery of southern England in winter for more than ten days at the beginning of the year under the influence of the British weather, I believe you will also understand that the torture of bad weather may be the best reason and the smoothest way for people to get close to each other, break through barriers or find spiritual support.
