A sauna would probably be best avoided.

a big floor of tilted mirrors is probably not advisable

I can vouch for this weather not being suitable for doing any work in the loft - especially laying insulation. A few years ago I did that & found sweat & rockwool have an irresistible attraction for each other :Yikes:

I just nipped out at lunch, and the car was telling me that it was 31.5°C - unfortunately, as a pale and ginger person, it's far too hot for me :(

A fish and chip shop would be tough plaice to work in this weather...

I drove out to Scunny the other night and was surprised to see that one section of the A180 has 2 quite deep grooves in the nearside lane, caused by HGVs driving on a very hot stretch of tarmac. Probably best avoided in a 3 wheeler - get stuck in a groove & you would miss your turn off ;)

If you met your soulmate there would it be a 'groovy kind of love'?

Three wheelers are best avoided period. Unless you're a bearded, pipe smoking, cardigan wearing, real ale drinker that is.

:LOL: the ironic thing is that it was recently resurfaced - most of the A180 is surfaced with ridged concrete, which causes the most awful tyre noise - making it totally impossible to whisper 'sweet nothing' in a soulmate's ear, until you get to the new tarmac, which a couple of weeks ago was smooth and quiet :)

I'd certainly avoid the 'del boy' version - no windows & a fibreglass bodyshell would be awful in this heat ;)

The nearside lane?!? Can't remember the last time I actually used that one :D

In fairness to you though Russ, if you look in the bible, it doesn't specifically name Hell but trust me, it's where I work :disturbd:

I pity Fireman having to put out fires in this heat.Mind thus far I've not heard of any fires being set on MOD land which is a favourite pastime here during the summer months.We have been lucky so far.Last year there was one Sunday when it got really close and we couldn't keep our windows open because of the smoke. Little barsterwards. :mad:

have they removed the UXBs on Daedalus, yet, Incog? There may be hope for an explosive solution to the problem ;)

My house. Even with all the doors and windows open & the heating switched off, it's like a bloody oven.

When I was in Canada last year one of the days was 103F. The car had been sitting in the sun all day as we had been in Niagara Falls. It was impossible to touch anything, we had to switch the air con on and leave it running for 10 minutes before it was even bareable to sit in.

Very true. A couple of weeks ago in the hotel where i work, it was nowhere near as hot as this and a thermometer in the kitchen said 44 degrees. I'm not sure what it would be now but since it's such an old building we don't have Air conditioning, only some pretty poor fans...:(

Nope!However there is talk of evacuations lasting for at least 5/6 weeks.
My husband seemed to think we would be told to go but I'm not leaving my house empty for that long.I'll take my chances what being the other side of the town.Can't imagine them having set that much explosive that it would obliterate the then village.

Beats me how anyone could forget booby trap bombs being planted and not remove the bluddy things at the end of the war.Makes one wonder how many other places were booby trapped the same way?

Oh and BTW tomorrow is going to be even hotter.Humidity will be the killer.
