    The other thing in the UK is that screen doors and windows are non-existent so if you want to open them for fresh air you’re inviting all the bugs in as well

        I wish we did in Sweden as well. Parts of the country has a fuck ton of mosquitos during summer.

        Inward opening windows are unfortunately not uncommon which makes screens a pain.

        Newer windows can usually do that fancy flip trick and a bunch of other fancy stuff though.

          Inward opening windows are the standard in Germany and nearly everyone just buys a cheap bug-screen set that you can simply wedge into the window frame. They cost like 20€ a pop. There are all kinds of solutions for this.
