@Zuperkrunch bc garlic will only kill him, and if you read vampire lore that's like being knocked out to a vampire, they'll be back eventually. England, however, can make every one of Romania's unlives a living hell
@RavenNB You seem to be missing the point about the representation of the characters. It is supposed to be stereotypes. It is not like USA is being represented in a good manner here, heck the author is Danish and yet Denmark is represented as a drunk sex driven weirdo.
@Wortel Ah, right, now I get it. Funny thing, gardening and well-kept lawns is not really part of the British stereotype here in America. Probably because we have a similar obsession (in our ideal world where everyone lives in the suburbs, the wife tends the gardens and the husband tends the lawn with his oversized riding mower), we don't see that sort of thing as strange.
@uktana it's a really big cliché in all of Europe for all I know.
Yeah all ideal worlds have big well-kept gardens in them, but that doesn't mean we don't think the British are obsessed with their lawns
My parents actually met the grasskeeper of the Oval cricket field once or so, and asked him how they kelt the grass so well.
'Buy Dutch grass, mow every day and replace every year'. :P
Heck, the race of grass for lawns is called 'Engels raaigras' here... English pqwyrqpwfdh grass...
