Lanterne Rouge Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 I don`t know what it`s like in Bristol but it has definitely been warming up all day down here in Devon. Fortunately we`re quite high up so can normally find a breeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually my 46th birthday today, i was born on what was the hottest day on record until a few years back. If my Mum could endure 36 hours of labour in a non air conditioned ward at Southmead, i reckon we'll be fine. Be sensible and stay hydrated, that's what I'll be doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately there will always be idiots but their idiocy shouldn’t be a bar to sensible people (who wish to) enjoy a bit of hot weather. Instead of stay in and don’t travel the message should go out and travel if you like but use the brain you were born with and be sensible about it. Anyone who is stupid enough to start a fire in the scenario you suggest should be invoiced the costs of dealing with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbew Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) I think they should bring in mandates for sun cream. If people don't wear it sack them from their jobs and ban them travelling to other countries, even if they are not going in the sun. Obviously we all need to wear sun cream to protect others who are also wearing sun cream. What would be then be then even more far fetched surely is for the people who introduce this rule to then proclaim 'my body my choice'.

And if, in the very unlikely event, Greta Thunberg is reading this thread - that was nearly 50 years ago - and the planet is still here - the weather and climate goes in cycles - 1976 was very hot for a few weeks, it happened again in 1995, it happened again in 2018 and now we are gonna have a few hot days this week - so what?! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
