@jws I do experiment with blind position because I know light carries a lot of heat energy. On a warm day I’ve never felt cooler from closing a window. Blinds half shut and windows wide open works for me. It sounds like America doesn’t really need openable windows.
@hazardwarning I thought theme parks were an exciting idea when I was a kid. Then I went to one (Lightwater Valley) and saw the biblical queuing and never had any interest ever again. Although strangely enough, Flamingo Land wasn’t too bad if you stuck to the animals and the go-karting.

‘I’ll clock you a fourpenny one.'
Some of the arcane dialogue heard in old films.
@matigo No, Japanese cities wouldn’t be my cup of tea. Although one thing I do like about them, based on pictures I’ve seen is the lack of cars parked at the side of the road.
