One thing I've noticed on my trips to England is how many gardens are over decorated. I mean, all countries have that sort of gardens, but the English seem overly fond of them.
But Swedes build miniature copies of their own houses as allotment sheds, and then in summer hols go live on the allotments in these twee little houses they can't stand up in-- that's what the English would call "allotment abuse".
Back home I used to have Dutch neighbours that had a really trimmed and styled garden, with little roads and shaped bushes. One day, I blew in some dandylion seeds... but nothing happened.
Hoo hoo hah hah hah hah hah
Hoo hoo hee hee hah
