Can't live without aircon?

Millie 収容する／認めるs that now after getting used to having aircon, she can't go without the 冷静な／正味の 空気／公表する and struggles when she visits home.?

She told テレビ視聴者s: 'I could not live without aircon. I went 支援する to England last year and literally, my dad called me the "aircon girl".

'I cried and I moaned the whole time because it was too hot and there was no aircon and I couldn't breathe.

'I never realised how much Brits need aircon until I went 支援する over there, like why 港／避難所't we got it? Why are we 苦しむing like this?'

運動ing その上の is not a big 取引，協定?

Secondly, where 以前 the West Midlands native may have considered 運動ing to another UK city a long trip, her time in America has led her to be more accustomed to travelling その上の.?

'I'm accustomed to it. I 運動 forty minutes to Keagan's school and forty minutes 支援する twice a day - doesn't bother me.'

Decorating for the seasons?

Autumn, or Americans call it, 落ちる, is just another season to those of us in the UK - and a dreary one at that.

But to those who live in America, the leaves 落ちるing is an excuse to celebrate and dress up your house with glorious orange and red decor - something Millie is now a big fan of.

Relying on heating pads?

She told her 信奉者s: 'I didn't realise how important heating pads were. I feel like everyone in the USA owns a heating pad.

A 嵐／襲撃する door is a type of door that is 任命する／導入するd in 前線 of an exterior 接近 door to 保護する it from bad 天候 and 許す ventilation - they are commonplace in America but we don't have them in the UK.

Swapping tea for coffee?

Millie's final way her life has changed is 潜在的に the most 不快な／攻撃 to Brits - it's that she's swapped tea for coffee.

In the UK, there aren't many problems that can't be solved with a hot brew, but in the US most 世帯s don't even own?electric kettles.?

However, others 明らかにする／漏らすd they have already made the change, with one penning: 'Putting 空気／公表する 反対／詐欺 in our UK home is literally the best home 改良 we’ve done'.

Another chimed in with: 'I’m with you on the aircon! We got it 任命する／導入するd last summer (live in the UK) - 絶対の game changer!'

'Heating pad is the truth. That's Midwest living 権利 there,' quipped one US native, with another asking: 'Do y'all [sic] not have heating pads in England?'
