Joe's always talking about how he loves climates with plentiful rainfall throughout the year, then complains about a bit of drizzle when shopping. A real hothouse flower that one.
Because cities in Europe have more reason to value aesthetics, for obvious reasons. There are usually very strict rules in place for what kind of structures you can place in certain areas - things have to be sympathetic to the existing built environment.
Sure, but is every single street a historical themepark? Don't be prisoners to your past.

Why such a restrictive choice? -why not take the reasonable middle ground?

Sure, but who wants to drink coffee in the rain, and stand around talking under an umbrella?

A different climate to yours. You would probably see things differently if you lived here
Why be outside if you're not prepared or don't want to handle the elements? Some people (like me) find it kind of fun to try and handle the elements of mother nature.

I can understand Australia as their summers everywhere bar Tasmania has the potential to get very hot and the sun is strong. But NZ? Are your summers really that hot to need covered pavements?

It might be different for you, but if I want taste of the elements, I don't go to town for it.

The summers aren't hot, but the sun is.
