Is that the case though? I'm not sure.. most people laugh off the ridiculous advice etc with a sigh, whilst the small percentage of idiots who do need the advice won't read it/be watching anyway

What are the News programmes going to do, when it actually gets hot. It hasn't even hit 30 here let alone 40.
Until I see an egg being fried on a car or pavement it's not hot.

None of which you remember!!!!
Course not. But we had the commentary on the radio when I was painting council houses in Lancing and everyone was going on about him
What about Eddy Merckx though? Eh?

I'm actually missing Seville at this time of year. I love the heat.

I hope it isn't true but based upon the utterly stupid questions that used to get asked on covid phone-ins then I suspect it may be.
Merckx, or your brother?
Another highlight that summer was the 101ers

One of the boys I was painting with had been in 'Strummer's' previous band and was raving about Woody Mellor

That was a real hot summer HWT.
Down to the beach at Glyne Gap and ice cream vans that actually sold ice cream, which didn't come with a side order of the latest pill!
BBQ's were a must then, until the locals reported us to the BBQ police.

It's funny how I still remember the news back then showing standpipes and seriously cracked soil where reservoirs once were.

Drinking chilled Pale Ale from a fridge on HMS Ulster.
When the Royal Yacht went past we had to pipe her, and we were dressed in T Shirts and shorts most of the time,so God knows what HRH thought as she went past us, but they never reported us to HMS Excellent

Stand pipes in the street in Yorkshire, although they weren’t used in the end.
I adored that '76 summer - all of it, although I shouldn't have laughed so hysterically at the sight of my gran's blue rinse, becoming a red, black and blue rinse, when we were set upon by a vast swarm of ladybirds, on Hove lawns.
It took me the best part of an hour to get them all out of her barnet.

This is always reminds of hot summers of years gone by:
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away
Do we still get sticky black tarmac in summer? I seem to remember it well.
