That is what we call "the British stiff upper lip".
I can remember, as a child on holiday, sitting on the beach with a portable windbreak set up to stop the wind. It started to rain - did we go back home? No, my parents set up two deck chairs either side of us, put the windbreak across the top to create a frontless and backless tent, then sat on the beach enjoying ourselves in the rain. That, my friend, is "the British stiff upper lip"!
