It’s often occurred to me throughout my life that we in the UK – and most of the rest of Europe
come to that – live a life relatively free of the kind of hazards commonly
found in much of the rest of the world.
Take America, for example. I for one cannot imagine how anybody could possibly feel comfortable living in a country which has bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions, alligators, tornadoes, hurricanes, active volcanoes, fearsomely cold winters, scorchingly hot summers, American TV, National Guardsmen, and Donald Trump supporters.
And what about Australia? Salt water crocodiles in the billabong, venomous spiders in the shower, Great White sharks in the paddling pools, man-eating ants in the garage, and seemingly the most inept politicians on the planet.
How on earth do they get through life with that lot on the doorstep?
