[QUOTE="Malika, post: 481704, member: 11227"] Americans are much more hygiene- and cleanliness-conscious than we slovenly Europeans... no-one wants or likes head lice, obviously, but maybe they are that much more shocking and distressing in the States? I once did a houseswap with a lady from Washington Difficult Child (when I had a cottage in Wales, years ago). Before she came, I obviously spent what seemed to me a long time cleaning everything and making sure it was pleasant for her to arrive to. However, while in my place she was very distressed (she told a neighbour of mine) at how "dirty" everything was, which included such things as the fact that the rugs had not all been freshly dry-cleaned... Her place, incidentally, was very beautiful and absolutely pristine... I felt frightened to touch anything. by the way, Buddy, I hope you are sleeping okay these days? You seem to be online during my morning which I would think is your night?? [/QUOTE]
