On the contrary I am often reminded by the Pink Floyd line 'Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way' when I think about the culture in the UK.
From what I've seen people in the UK try to be very 'proper' about everything - often when they don't even mean it. That's what causes all the differences in culture between the UK and other European countries like Germany.
Although, this is the Government that promoted the slogan 'Keep calm and carry on'[1] many many years ago.
