No problem with it - apart from the extreme tedium of course. Over
here is England.

It's true that the British don't seem to go in for loud games that are
played inside. Given the climate, this rather surprises me.

We didn't build the world's greatest empire by staying indoors just
because it wa a bit damp and chilly outside.

Quite. Given most of our houses were equally cold and damp inside.

Dead right. I remember as a child in winter there was usually ice on
the inside of my bedroom window. No central heating, and the living
room was the only one with a fire.

Same here. And in the North of Scotland.
