Sorry, but is the OP testimony to the insular American consciousness and/or laughable education system?
Peach174,
It can be quite stimmulating living in Europe. We're actually encouraged to think for ourselves and not believe everything the television tells us.
I live in a house that I own (on a mortgage). I have several closets in my house. Assuming a "bathroom closet" is what we in Europe, not just mainland, call a toilet, I have two of those.
I own a tumble dryer (clothes dryer). And, depending on the weather, it normally takes about a couple of hours for our clothes to dry outside on the line. Didn't know there was ome kind of Trans-Atlantic competition on the time it takes to dry clothes.
I have carpets throughout the 1st floor and laminate flooring throughout the ground floor. My choice. The EU didn't dictate to me on how to furnish my house. Nor are they likely to.
I have an adequate refrigerator that's also plumbed. Can you say the same? There's also a chest freezer in the shed, that has working, non-subsidised lighting in it and everything.
I need neither A/C or an ice maker. Why would I?
Plumbing's fine. Pressure, too.
My windows open inwards like a door. I can take a picture if you like.
Bugs get in everywhere. They don't make exceptions based on what continent they're on.
Where do you get this nonsense?
Are you high?
Bugs don't get into my home, ecept for an occasionally fly or two.
You also live in England, not Sweden or Germany.
I have heard that your plumbing has become better than it was around 40 or 50 years ago.
I talk to the people that live there. One person that was on this board wanted to know how hard it was to move here to America. I also talk to the immigrants that moved from their countries.
I never said that all were living like that, but many are living like that.
Still your taxes are quite high and so is your gas.
I don't know about your food.
A one gal. of whole milk here costs around 2.59
How much does your's cost?
What I was talking about was flats not homes.
