You can't. Every single place I've been in England, hotels, B&Bs, people's houses, all the windows open out; not up or to the side. So, you can't put bug screens on windows over there
Not true, as my house in Florida had windows that opened outward, but the screens were on the inside. Even this house has two windows that open outward to the side, and there are screens to fit on the inside - but I've taken those out as I don't like how screens block the view (I just don't open them)...lol.
Except for southern Ontario - those 400-series highways gives the US Interstates a run for their money - nice, big, fat and straight highways. The one going around northern Toronto is a true monster, something like 10 lanes wide, plus collector routes that have even more lanes - that thing is a beast...lol.
Those highway is an a populated corridor unlike the TransCanada in rural areas. I think the provincial government paid for it, not the national one. American interstates are usually built with at least partially federal funds, especially in the early years. If it were up to the states, without federal funds, highways in remote area probably wouldn't have gotten as well built.
The netretards.tv trolls are at it again...............................
Can already tell tonight is going to be the first genuinely unpleasant one of the summer for me. I'm perspiring at quite a rate simply sitting in the living room...
Falling into a slurry pit whilst handcuffed would be less traumatic, so long as it was chilled. Today is unbearable, outside and in
A continued downgrade on the heat from yesterday thankfully with the 12c isotherm fringing the SE but soon clearing off.
This is not Kuwait City...
It's not even Paris....
It's not even St. John's, NewFoundland.
Yet still, two days of 23°C and we get all this crying and screaming. Meanwhile I tolerate 9 months of cold wet trash without a single complaint of course.
You aren't gonna get any, or much at all until winter.

Still doesn't invalidate what I saw. No bugscreens anywhere in the southern tier of England. Not even in Germany.

I suppose. So, I'm wondering how traffic from Ontario gets to Manitoba, like trucks. They cross into the US?

I stopped posting on that site for this very reason! Bunch of sissies on there..
They are only common in old buildings, but even many older buildings have sash windows taken out and replaced by PVC double-glazed ones. Most people in the UK live in semidetached housing, and they almost always have windows that open out.
Also, the biggest idiots on NW are shedhead and draztik.

We did that with our house I used to live on 'til last year.

Ours was semi detached, but had sash windows all around as with all the rest on the street, most on google streetview seem to as well. Maybe it's modern builds with UPVC windows you mean and as you said, houses that used to have sash windows but have had them replaced.

A great deal of Canadian trucks apparently do enter the US at Port Huron - the access lanes for the trucks extended for miles at the border crossing. I guess it's quicker for them to travel by way of Chicago and then up to Manitoba, rather than take those slow roads north of the Great Lakes. Myself, I used Ontario as a shortcut from New York to Michigan - I told the border guard what I was doing, and they just waved me on through - must be something they're used to.
