Yeah who the hell wants moths and mosquitoes in their house

    It is truly bizarre how Europeans never use screens, make it make sense!!

    We had them in Italy. But we also didn't have these weird windows. Also stop acting like Europe is a small town on an island.

    I honestly don't think of Europe as a small town, I promise- I'm just saying I've been in many brilliant countries across Europe and I swear to you that I've never seen a screen. Where is the spider protection, I ask you?!

    This should be particularly important, I think, in the Scottish Highlands, land of midges, who want nothing more than to feast on your flesh. Still, not a screen in sight, although I must admit you certifiably need a very fine screen to prohibit those pesky wee bastards. There seems to be a sort of gentlemen's alliance though because it seems that the midge rarely enters a human dwelling, maybe out of fear of pure Scottish fury, but mark my words .. they sit and wait.

    I will digress also that in our defense, Scots do use midge nets when camping unless we're on our 10th Tennant's, in which case it's really no bother

    There are no mosquitoes in the UK. And moths are rare. Would be lucky to see a fly.
