Who's in the UK and has caved in and bought air conditioning?

I picked up something like this about three years ago. No regrets.

Though I can't help but feel like I'm also adding to the climate problem.

    I am in the process of watching Run Away on Netflix.  It is set in the UK and filmed there as well.  I am not sure what specific region though.  Anyway while the shots of the country side are beautiful and green they seem less green than I remember from previous trips I've taken to England... so a question for those in the UK... with the recent rise in temperatures during the last few summers are things less green now?  Or am I remembering things through 'emerald green' tinted glasses?

    It can depend on the water table, the sun and the heat have turned my driveway into greenery thanks to the prevalent weeds growing between the cracks in the paving.

    LOL not exactly what I had in mind when I was thinking of a green but yeah, sometimes you have to respect the resilience of weeds.
