HellWhere do you live in a furnace ! That sounds oppressive and horrible.
Yeah like that its great but working in this heat is a bitch..Went over to see the Missus’ family who are back in England and living in their caravan on a campsite in Napton.
Sat outside all afternoon and evening having a few beers and a BBQ in the glorious sunshine looking over the beautiful British countryside.
Love it.
I agree so I start earlier now and keep out of the heat in the afternoon,as that is knackering. Nice breeze at the moment !Yeah like that its great but working in this heat is a bitch..
When my mum and dad first got married they lived in Napton, lovely little place. Haven't been there for years though.Went over to see the Missus’ family who are back in England and living in their caravan on a campsite in Napton.

I suppose adding orange juice to your window washing water makes it a bit more palatable?That's why I'm stopping in half an hour, early start and early finish. I've drank loads of water and orange juice, and as soon as the water hits the glass it dries instantly, get the squeegee on there quick or you get smears,and unhappy customers !
Just seen what I wrote there, bit of sun stroke methinks, bloody hot though !I suppose adding orange juice to your window washing water makes it a bit more palatable?
Love the sun, girls in their summer clothes, an excuse to have a few drinks, bbq's, absolutely love it, I have 2 fans pointing directly on me at work and I'm still sweating rhough. Can't wait to move abroad and have this for 9+ months of the year.
Then they open the windows to cool down the world with it...Luckily I have aircon in my office, but a few fellow workers who don't like to have it on as it is "too cold". Blasting out at the moment though.

Whatever work we do theirs always someone who's worse off !....Wonder what the worse of all jobs in this heat is....A Chef ??Spare a thought though for my sister who works as a nurse in a care home,she looks after dementia patients. She told me the other day that many of those with this horrible illness/disease have the heat full on in their rooms, and she can't turn the heating off or down, as it could cause the patients distress etc.
She said she has been on the verge of fainting and being sick,as the heat is overwhelming. At least with my work I can cool down, my sister has to grin and bear it.

Pay me 3 grand a week and i'll run around in 10 jumpers and welliesNice to have fans but can be off-putting if they point at you whilst working, you've only got two, imagine how footballers must feel on a match-day.
Take my hat to you...I couldn't do it.Actually I'm a cook in a dementia home and yep they do keep the heating on and it's damn hot in that kitchen. Still loving the hot weather though kind of got used to it working in hot climates.
This is like that long summer of 76, the famous drought summer.This is the longest run of hot weather I can recall

Yep and that's what's surprising me on here. I have spoke to so many people who have said it's too hot and they want it to cool down quite a few degrees. Shop workers, posties, vets, office workers.Spare a thought though for my sister who works as a nurse in a care home,she looks after dementia patients.

People say I bet you love this weather for your job ? When I reply no I prefer it cooler, they look surprised. Ask most outdoor workers and they'll say the same,as youre constantly trying to cool down, constantly drinking water/pop, and getting tired earlier than normal. In colder weather you're flying around !Yep and that's what's surprising me on here. I have spoke to so many people who have said it's too hot and they want it to cool down quite a few degrees.

Weird. I would say at least 90% plus of the people I have spoken to have said they don't like it this hot.
My mum and dad, brother, my wife and my daughter and most of her friends, have all said they would prefer it around 22°-23° instead of 27°-30°.
Today none of us are going out and are staying in to avoid the blistering heat.
Already took the dog out at 6, went to Tesco at 7 and am now blocking out all the sun by put shutting the curtains and putting the blinds down.
Oh and the dog hates it too.
1976 was similar. No rain for ages then it pissed down all autumn.This is the longest run of hot weather I can recall
Most photos are probably from newspapers - which were all black and white in those days1976 was similar. No rain for ages then it pissed down all autumn.
For some reason in this article the BBC shows b/w photos. Part of the way they ''educate' young impressionable people I suppose.
What the drought of 1976 looked like as this year's heatwave continues
