My god! Is this true?

Brits don't have window screens? That can't be the case. What's next, you don't have bugs either?

(Please - reassure me that it's not true!)

I would think not being able to open your window screens, if you have them, would be a fire hazard and violate some sort of law. Most places in the US require all officially zoned bedrooms to have an egress window to use in case of an emergency.

I find the no annoying bugs extremely weird. I'd love to be able to open my window again during summer, I kind of broke the screen last time I was locked out, but even with snow on the ground critters manage to find their way in. I'm okay with bugs being outside, but inside makes me freak. Especially if they're tiny and not predacious and I can imagine them colonizing my cereal boxes or something.
