I don't get the one who said there were no dryers - I had a washer and
dryer in 1967 prior to leaving the UK.

I don't know if it's what you mean, but many people in Australia (or the
whole English speaking world?) have names like that. John Terry, Terry
John. Colin Warren, Warren Collin. There doesn't seem to be a clear
distinction between first names and last names.

However, a recent study showed conclusively that the overall dental
health of Brits is BETTER than the US.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it! :-)

The combo units are popular over there now (nice space saver for
people whose laundry room is part of their closet, bathroom or
kitchen) and people still hang their laundry on lines outside from
what I gather just by reading rfc.

Me neither; it's nonsense. Tumble dryers are commonplace in the home,
even in rented accommodation. For tourists, hotels offer laundry
services and there are high street businesses offering service washes.

People often make dumb assumptions. We rented a villa in Italy that had
a washer, but no dryer. Therefore dryers do not exist in Italy.
(We did take a basket of wet clothes to a laundromat in town)

The winds in Sutherland don't let any pollen or schmutz sit on the
laundry (I have to use _lots_ of clothes pegs to keep my sheets from
flying off to Orkney), there aren't many cars and my drying green is a
fair distance from the road. _Very_ rarely a bird will drop a bomb on my
laundry - the last time was about 6 years ago.

Even if there is a bit of dust and pollen in the sheets you can toss
them into the dryer for a couple minutes on low and filter them out.

I am enjoying it very much, although I've only got up to 1776.
The subject is one on which I'm quite keen, although I don't
have any education in it.

In early spring when the trees are coating every surface with pollen, I
use the dryer - it's not been a problem at other times of the year.

I also prefer to keep the clothing clean and pollen free. I always hang

I was surprised to hear that name here.
I have his book, "A Walk in the Woods."
It's about hiking the Appalachian Trail.
So very good that I've worn it out by
rereading it many times over the years.

Only time pollen is a problem around here is in the Spring.

It's especially funny about how Americans drive because we are too lazy
to walk. Sorry, but not everyone lives in a metropolis with all sorts
of shops lining the streets a mere block away.

Where I live there is no public transit. I *have* to drive to buy
groceries. I don't mind if I have to park well away from the store in
the lot. I don't mind walking. In fact I prefer to park farther away
so I'm not hemmed in by huge vehicles. (Huge vehicles *is* a sad fact
about many Americans.) Still, there's no way could I walk (or bike) to
Publix or Food Lion and bring home bags of groceries.

A friend of mine was walking through Boston once. He was stopped and
questioned by the police. They found his behaviour suspicious

You need to understand how BIG the US is to realize that question makes
no sense.

Brits don't seem to understand that California is more
than *3 times* larger than England, and California is
but a small part of the United States.

The continental US is almost 3.2 million square miles,
and California is 359,000 of that. England is just over
50,000 square miles.

Oh, I think the people you are responding to have some understanding
of how big the US is. It was a question inviting a conversation.
Speak of why you would or wouldn't hang wash out in your area.
