The ten year war over Iceland is over and Iceland has come out the victor. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, be prepared to listen to a whole bunch of stupid. In 2016, we wrote …
Now something important about Wales (and I’ve heard this applies to other European countries) is that the big fridges and freezers common in the U.S are not common there.
Smaller fridges where the freezer is only located on one shelf in the fridge are a thing too, I’ve seen them in vacation apartments, but I think only people with extremely limited space in their kitchen would get one of these for their homes.
Well I was a student. I was in a 1 bedroom apartment.
I also looked at about 6 places before renting this one. They all had mini fridges. Perhaps it’s different in other parts of Europe. This was the UK and more specifically, Wales.
Yes, that makes sense that very small apartments would also have very small kitchens where you’d have these kinds of fridges. Point is, most people do have much bigger ones, even in Europe. :)
I live in the UK, and in every flat or house I’ve lived here, from 1-bedroom to 3-bedroom ones, we had full-size fridges like the one linked higher up in this comment chain.
So maybe the tiny fridge is just your social circles, or tiny studio flats or somesuch?
(Edit: I specifically live in Scotland, but I can’t imagine a reason that people would have different fridge sizes in Wales.)
Sorry, edited my original comment to say I live in Scotland specifically. But Wales is the same. The UK countries mostly differ in politics, our lifestyles are basically identical.
I’ve lived in central Europe all my life and all apartments I remember living in had fridges similar to this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bosch_Electronic_no_frost_fridge_freezer_(2019)_06.jpg (on the top is the fridge, on the bottom the freezer)

Well Europe is big. Maybe it’s a UK thing. I only lived in Wales and was told it was common there.

Okay but what about Wales specifically. You said UK. So England , Scotland?
