24 here too. That's just about as much as I can take before I really start to melt - I'm not made for hot climates.

23 here this morning and I'm starting to feel like you do about the heat.

Typically...one hour before the air show came the dark and overcast weather :stare:

Nope,they are Scots,we are English :D
Further north and you get to Hadrian's (Romanized Britain) wall,which was built across the entire width of northern england to keep the Scots out,there was once bitter conflicts here at one time.Here in Yorkshire we are a bit south of this area,but still north of the 'centre' line of England to be considered 'northern' and not southern.
It can get a bit sticky at times you see,no doubt like in Amerika? :doh:

Great motorcycle weather!

It's 34 here in Houston with a saturating 90% humidity, which means your sweat does not evaporate, making it more uncomfortable than the desert.

It gets pretty hot in Boston, NY, and Chicago, but it stays about 30~40C for five months here, May-Sept.

Interesting to note that most of the areas north of the 'line' are old Danish/Norse territories called the 'Danegeld' which was established during the viking raids on England.The areas south of the 'line' would be deemed typically 'Angle' & 'Saxon' (with a small number of Jutish and Frisian tribes along the lower east coast) territory,or Anglo-Saxon. Yorkshire (i'm from South Yorkshire),and its capital York was once the main viking stronghold in northern England,and was originally called Jorvik (just some random info for you all there).

At least i'm a northerner! :smug::salute:

Thanks for that image.

Danegeld would be the payment to keep the Vikings out. Danelaw was the territory.

Jorvik was not actually its original name.

Roman name was Eboracum, possibly named after celtic for yew trees
Anglo name was Eoforwic
Danish name was Jorvik
English name is York
American name is Yoik

English name is York
Actually Yoahk.
American name is Yoik
Only to those who live next door in New Joisey. The ones who live there pronounce it "Yawk". The rest of us pronounce the 'r', which no one else seems to do. Some of us a little further south have been known to overpronounce it: "Yarrk".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York

I was simply referring to the viking era,as York is mostly famous for its viking influences
If you want to go back to the Roman era then yes,Eboracum was the name they used,just like London was called Londinium,Scotland was called Caledonia,and I believe Ireland was called Hibernia by the Romans.

And Britain is thought to have its earliest roots back in the ancient Phoenician empire,as their chief Phoenician/Assyrian? queen Semiramis became the iconic Britannia of Britain.The ancient Celts are probably Phoenician,or maybe Thracian in origin.

I love York mate,especially the areas known as Stonegate and Coppergate,you can still to this day imagine walking down those old medieval streets :yep:

They still have local armouries too that will fashion custom made (for a hefty price of course!) swords,armour,shields etc for the customer,did you ever visit any? they also have local viking battle re-enactment days at certain times,although not sure when the next one will be :hmmm:

Say Jim,what would the odds be for some of the more local (or overseas members if they are prepared to travel) members in here meeting up sometime for a few (more likely a huge amount!) beers and UBoat banter?.Did not some of you do it once in USA?,like a large get together?.

45C is not uncommon in parts and average summertime day is upwards of 35C.

Best way to deal with it is strip down to your underpants and lie prone on a tiled or lino floor. Drink a beer or two before doing it and you'll sleep soundly all day.:O:
