        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

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

        Its not like the few mosquitoes we have would be smart enough to enter my room through the sides of a lightly tilted window.

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