It is times like this we really should make more use of our canals.

I’ve dumped a fair few bodies/shopping trolleys in mine. Speak for yourself.

…at least it’s not snowing, imagine shovelling it in this heat.

The difference is on holiday in those temperatures you can take a dip in the pool/sea to cool down. Then a leisurely stroll back to your air conditioned apartment.
However in this country you're more than likely working in this heat, then trying to sleep in an oven/ house without AC.

Get that, but we’re talking about a two-day period over which temperatures are forecast to be a good 3C lower than the UK record. Temperatures are routinely IEO that in most ‘suns seeker’ destinations, and heat is heat. It won’t be comfortable, but it’s two days. If we’re all sensible, we hydrate, we don’t go outside in peak heat, etc, we will be just fine despite what MSM is pushing.

What for swimming? They’re full of dead bodies, shopping trollies and used condoms

It’s strange, as a man’s testicles know when it’s too hot and elongate. When it’s too cold they contract into a ball.
Teabagging is going to be a lot easier on Monday/Tuesday.?

Westminster Road baths wasn't much worse to be fair.

1976 from mid-May till the en of August - I used to go to my works plant Nursery on a motorbike in shorts & pumps 7.30 am started at 7-45 am trees were starting to die in the park we augured big holes & let the hosepipe on all night to save them 100 year Oak trees - this is hot, but it won't last here....

i had a fantastic tan that year ..... under Glass & polythene was unbearable in 1976 - my mate got heatstroke .....off sick .....

I remember that summer very well. I was 22 yrs old and was off work due to an accident, so I was able to take full advantage of the sun.
The problem was that said accident meant I had to wear a neck brace for several weeks.
The discomfort was bad enough, but it was as nothing compared to the embarrassment that followed. . . my bright white neck was in stark contrast to my superb Hollywood-like tan.

Ha. Is possible I guess. Several beers and a massive steak can do that.

Was 40 degrees here last week. Had this mad hot wind as well that felt like it was ripping your face off. Was ace.
