Flip flops are what I grew up wearing and everyone wears them in Brazil as house shoes and just regular foot wear. It could be that the UK folks don't have the sunny/hot/humid weather factor in their favor. If you had to be me right now, with everyday around 36-38 degrees celsius and humid as a sauna to boot, you might think twice about lacing up those boots and grabbing your favourite pair of trousers. Just a thought.

True.
It reminds me of that story about the man who goes into a shoe shop & buys shoes that are obviously too small for him. When asked by the shop assistant why he tortures himself wearing shoes that are too small he replies, "Taking them off at the end of the day is the only pleasure I get".
Try wearing DM's in this weather, it feels so GOOD peeling them off at the end of the day.
