1. It never snows.
2. It doesn't have a balance with rain. Theres never showers its either heavy rain for hours of drizzle all day.
3. Its too flat.
4. Roads are congested everywhere.
5. British people everywhere. Seen a classmate othernight.
6. Drivers are so crap. Seen 10 crashes one day.
7. Drivers are rude. They NEVER let you in. They will bedamed if they let you in because the world is going to end. Oh and don't start me about the horns.
8. Traffic lights are TOO LONG
9. People in the shops are so fake. I am actually so fed up now because EVERY time I walk into a shop "HEY GUYS! Have a nice time!!" "Would you like any help?" And then on the way out if you buy something they actually come round the counter and hand you the item. I love nice people but this is too much!
You knew it didn't snow before you went there Why go on for months before you left about how the heat will be nice?? It hardly ever snows in NI either..
Don't know if it's typical, but I doubt detached homes are common there.
I don't think you should use Sicily or Calabria as the "typical Southern European". Sicily is the poorest area in Western Europe, it's like saying Detroit is the typical European city. Those who live in those terrible medieval towns are dirt poor, mostly unemployed and elderly, and don't have any other place to go to. I'm sure 90% of the remaining residents would leave immediately if given the chance.

Yes, the personal space is smaller on the countryside in S Europe as well and people live in village communities, because utilities and roads are expensive to build and the terrain often tricky.

Any time i've visited the houses haven't been appealing.
