Yes thats right i come round and collect the rubbish bins or trash to the americans, just immagine that heat coupled with rotting food maggots and the smell, and you office workers keep complaining that your lives are hard! il trade any day well maybe not £9.85 per hour job and knock i dont think any office job could compete

Give it a few months and you'll be looking back at that job with fond memory.

Cause, you know, nothing ever stinks in the merchant navy. And it's never too hot at sea... And being a cadet obviously pays better than that... :hmm:

STAND BY ENGLAND OVER 100°F IS ON THE CARDS TOMORROW.

London underground got up to 120°F yesterday, come on this is a joke and the buses were even hotter up to 140°F and these record will be broken tomorrow.

today 18 july is going to be roasty-toasty, possibly up to 34c and, according to the weather n00bs, humidity is going to be up this week too.
Compared to living in Bahrain the UK temperatures are tame, but having said that over there it's hot all the time so you get used to it. Here, on the other hand, we have no chance to become accustomed to the 'heat wave' such as it is. No sooner than we break out the t-shirts and all those tasty young laydeeez with their skimpy summer clothing magically appear everywhere, then the hot weather is gone and all of the 'blooming flowers' go and hide away again

Right now the office airconditioning is giving me goosebumps and making me shiver

[Kapitan]

Great loads of lovely maggots n rotten food to look forward too.

One thing that's gets over looked here is how many very young children and old age pensioners will die in this heat. Remember the last one a couple of years ago they put the figure of O.A.P'S deaths over three hundred, it's about time the government stopped talking about it and do something for a change.

The problem we have is yo-yo temperatures which change to fast in the U.K and all that moister in the heat knocks the heck out of you, it’s time for employer’s to wake up to that fact as well sitting in an office over 100°F is no joke at all.

[STEED]

Todays office temperature hit 119°F people were bitter to each other and we had a right ding dong of an argument. No It was nothing to do with me, heat waves bring out the monster in people it's not safe out there. And tomorrow will be even hotter Ole better check my life insurance.

Two words: Global Warming.

PS: There is an upshot: Global Warming (or more accurately and PC "Climate Change") paradoxically creates deep freeze effect as well

Big Freeze to Sweep over China

China, already enduring its coldest winter in 20 years, is preparing for a cold snap that will see temperatures drop by as much as 16 degrees Centigrade (29 degrees Fahrenheit).

Northern China, where temperatures are already as low as minus 15-20 degrees Celsius, will feel the strongest effects of the cold front, which is sweeping in from Mongolia and western Siberia, the China Daily reported.

But the real trick is to take salt pills (or a teaspoon of salt) at breakfast time, before going to work. Salt helps the body retain liquids, preventing dehydration, which may still occur even when driniking a lot.

We were taught that salt pills do more harm than good and there's enough sodium in tap water to provide all the salt necessary to replace that which is lost through sweating.

Todays office temperature hit 127°F and the boss has gone home with heat exhaustion, as for the rest of us we were told last week by the boss if we tyred that one on we could be sacked.


One rule for them and another for us.

[STEED]

We have hit the peak 130°F 30 minutes ago, we are now down to 127°F all I can say is this, I am glad the temperatures are going down tomorrow.

Great news, anyway no complaints here our offices have good air conditioners. My problem is at night in my apartment.

We also have air conditioners, I think the problem is we got an all glass building that's soaks up the heat. I have got a mobile air conditioner at home but in this heat dose not cool the room down, apart from me when I sit very near it. When the temperature goes down in to the 80's then my air conditioner starts to do it's job. PHEW

Britain's roads are melting and the trains are running at half speed because the fear of buckling rails. This country can not cope in very hot and cold weather and what is the Government doing? Fiddle while the U.K goes down the tubes, what a country I live in.

[Kapitan]

I can vouch for the roads here, our cart managed to dig a hole 7 inch deep in the pavement because the tarmac was so soft.

trains are running ok the normal delays.

I just heard on my local news on TV, London bus drivers wore shorts to keep cool, their managers have told them do that again and you will be sacked. Who the hell are these Dumbo's to say that.
