She could holiday in the Dolomites or on Mt. Blanc...

But there's no McDonalds on Mt. Blanc.

But there is one at Rue du Mont-Blanc in Geneva.

is a poor month to visit because many people are on vacation and many

The only concern I would have is the heat. I don't think they have
real great air conditioning.

They've never really NEEDED it, until recent years!

London & England are a tourist centre.
The last thing it's going to do is shut at the height of the season!

In the good old days everybody had a fan.

I think Europe is about 50 years behind the U.S. on providing air
conditioning.

You cretin, why would they bother when, as I previously stated, it was
never NEEDED? Most of Europe (and particularly England) has much cooler
summers than the U.S. - if the daily temperature ever rises above 90F,
it makes headlines. Windows are generally made to open, and as Martin
says, fans have been around for a long time! (Europeans tend to be less
into "conspicuous consumption" and "planned obsolescence" than USAians.)

Calling "Cathy" a cretin has to be a compliment. She sounds like a
patriotic legume.

It sounds much better in French, but then, everything does.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Nope - 'she' is a troll. And quite a successful one, it seems. ;-)
