S'funny but in the UK everyone seems to think screen doors are American.
I spent time in Egypt as a kid, so I remember them from there, but when I built one for my front door last year, the postie doesn't know how to open it to put letters through the letter slot in the front door & every one who comments on it says things like "ah like they have in America"
But I can't seem to get the proper mesh here.
Well, it's 'cos we only ever see them on American TV and films!
We don't tend to get a lot of Egyptian soaps over here...

Bizarre. I learned something new today.
I assume you have screens in your windows, so it's odd that they never migrated to the doors.
Screen doors look a right pain in the arse when you see them in American films, all flappy and rattly and overcomplicating the leaving and entering of the house.

Isn't that what Shakey was warbling about? don't know what they're doin' but they laugh a lot behind the screen door...
We have got a rat in our garden! He was eating the bird seed, I watched as he scared off a magpie then he let a dove eat some but then attacked it.
I wish I had a video camera! anyway I let the cat out she chased into next doors garden. We think it lives under their decking, not sure what to do, certainly do not want it coming in the house! Help!
Get the council pest control in Dellas.

Embrace it, dellas. It's one of god's glorious creatures!

Ah, Shakey. A great man if only for physically attacking Richard Madeley on TV.
Did he?

This is exactly how the plague got started.
Had one of those feeling down for no reason days today but am cheered up now after getting a surprise present and finding a comedy show on TV that I forgot was on.
Good cure for Mondayitis even if it is nearly over.

No we don't have insect screens on the windows in the UK, except in exceptional circumstances.
If it gets in the kitchen don't call UB40 they haven't got a clue.
