This is framed as a renting issue. But it's a general housing issue that affects both renters and owners. Houses cost more, insurance costs more, any maintenance work costs more, body corporates cost more. There's really no way to escape the rising costs of housing.

I meant that Americans think their copy is the original in both cases. I only really know the UK office. I forgot we even had an Aussie spin off tbh. It was in the news for one week and then forgotten about.

The "internet", yes. But the web, http, etc was all invented by the English. You guys can claim email if you want.

They're rich in SI units

My insurer said flood insurance was extra (a significant amount) so I chose not to get it. I'm a long way from the nearest river and feel I could move the most valuable things if needed.

The ABC in Australia was the original ABC before the Americans copied us. Kind of like the Office.
