Why yes of course it is! That's because ALL British houses are identical, don't worry though in the winter months we wear our bowler hats to bed to help to keep our heads warm.

Why do people on C-D have to talk in absolute terms all the time? LOL

Please be specific to the OP and don't turn this thread into a collection of stereotypes, as there have already been a lot of Europe vs USA threads.

Peace out - time for me to go outside and pull weeds.
AC works for the heat, but you can't make sun to shine

To the OP -- Differences USA vs Europe.

Aside from all the above comments,
the biggest difference is the food you eat.
In the USA you will be guaranteed to eat food laden with GMO's
In Europe you have a better chance to eat food that still comes from the land without GMO's

That alone would be a good reason to go there and stay for a while !

There are grocery stores throughout the US that specialize in GMO-free food.

Eh, no, it's not, USAGeorge. And judging by your level of education I doubt you can afford to leave country.

How come it's always the most mentally challenged people who go around proclaiming "facts" on the Internet? I guess empty vessels make most noise.

It snows in Finland for 9 months out of the year. There are no cars - only bikes. And Santa Claus used to live there, but even he couldn't stand it and moved himself and Mrs. Claus to a more hospitable and pleasant location.
ouch!
