Why is this whole thing of Americans thinking Europe doesn't have AC? Are you guys dumb? Of course we have AC, even in places like Scotland.

    I live in the UK, and seeing air conditioning in a house is maybe like a 5% probability maximum. The story is pretty similar in places on the continent I have seen, except maybe bits of Spain and France. Sure, commercial buildings, trains (with a notable exception being hell the Central Line), and cars have AC, but that's only for when you go out in the day, except for hotels that more often have AC.

    Not only is AC rare, but new apartments aren't always equipped, and some countries literally forbid AC installations (Switzerland) in the name of energy savings (which means people then buy those terrible mobile units, which are way less efficient)
