It’s hot

Some do have early starts to their day, often up at 05:00 and start work early, four hours breaks in the afternoon, rarely see locals out and about in the hottest part of the day, they eat late in the evening and stay up late at night… their buildings are designed to keep cool, air con is everywhere…

Or as my African mate at work says “I moved to Britain to get away from the hot weather”.

Traditional hours in Spain. EU membership breaking this down. A co I did business with in Madrid worked 8-12 and 4-8. Local restaurant peak hour was 11 pm. and often full at 1am. Madrid temperature in August was 35 at night. During the day, many went to the cinema for aircon. Often 40 or more during day.
 
The irony on Sky News is they're pushing the climate change argument but are reporting live from a reservoir.

How many news reporters travelled by car to report today? How is the newsroom being powered and how is the air con being run? Why don't they just go off air for a few days or limit their reporting to do their bit then?

It's just ridiculous that we moan about this issue and then are complete hypocrites in our ability to do something about it.

Prince Charlie loves to fly by private jet to climate change conference. Computers, Charlie, computers.

I'm loving it tbh, there's always a way to cool down and get refreshed. Rather this than rain and sleet and dank. I'm probably going to get heat stroke now Iv said that but I'm not into all the gloom and doom and scare mongering (As opposed to warning which is obvs required in this weather) thats going on at the moment. Im getting tanned, drinking tons of water, feeling happy, loving cold breezes.

Amen to that.
 
Was training n sparring (Thai) on Sunday afternoon n yesterday evening, very testing with no A.C. though hydration has never been a problem personally.

Only frustrating thing was having to endure the buses n tubes both to n from venue south of the river, gonna give it a miss today just because of it, irritating as fuck when the systems on a slow. Wish i was driving again but there's really no point here in the smoke with all the hassle.

As for windows, mine stay open around the same time every month of May - Sept with the insect netting up!

The stupid thing is we are being bombarded today by it but what are we meant to do? None of us have air con, we don't have a swimming pool to heat and very few of us have had a decent holiday at all over the last few years let alone flown on a private jet.

It just proves that none of us at this level can do a single thing about it. I could sit in my car idling for the air con for a bit which would indeed cause a bit of Co2 but petrol is so expensive that my fan will have to do....
