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!)

Our house in England did not have window screens. The only screen door I saw my entire childhood was when I would visit my grandparents in Wisconsin in the summer. I thought it was so weird that they couldn't just open their windows; they had screens on the inside, and a crank to open the window. And then when we moved to Houston, the screens were on the outside, but I missed being able to put my head out the window. We didn't really have mosquitos, though, it's a bit cold. And everyone just dealt with the flies and yellow jackets.

Ugh, flies. I'd rather have any number of bugs in my house than a single fly.

Our screens open, don't yours?

I wish our screens opened! Ours here in AZ don't, and the ones in Texas didn't. In Utah, we had screens that were permanent, then storm windows that could be opened and closed and then the main window. But I've never lived in a place with openable screens! It makes sense to. I wish we had them (without having to pay for them that is).

How weird.
