I found this flabbergasting about the UK. Not only did nowhere have air conditioning, but nowhere had window screens either.

In the place we rented there was just bugs flying in all the time, and the older hotels were unbearably hot since the lack of screens also meant that the windows couldn’t open more than an inch or two.

    The UK is not a hot climate, and in general bugs are not a problem (exceptions apply, looking at you scotland).

    I was vacationing in the Newcastle area nearish to Scotland for the most part, and I certainly didn’t notice mosquitos like we have in Canada, but even just random spiders and flies and stuff were constantly coming inside with open windows.

    It’s not the end of the world, but neither is installing a screen, it just seemed strange how universally uncommon they were. Like I figured that at least some people would still hate bugs enough to install them.
