[Misc] It’s too hot to work

[Questions]

No it really is. I’m decorating outside in an area that gets the sun all day. Packing up now because I can’t just put a fan on or adjust the air conditioning. .. when do others say enough is enough ?

I'm sat in my office at home in Burgess Hill...........and yes, it is.

Im in an air conditioned office on my own, so the heat is not troubling me thankfully...but the factory has been measured at 109 this week, and the lads out there have just worked through it.

No air con in our office, fans just moving hot air around. It's hotter than the Black Hole Of Calcutta in here.

Finish at 5.30

All bodes well for the Qatar World Cup

Pity the poor devils who have to build the infrastructure - many under unspeakable conditions - let alone play in it. Or even watch live.

Not in my air conditioned office!

Luckily booked this week off before knowing the forecast. Bloody glad too. Would not fancy sitting on the Victoria line tube in rush hour in this weather

Far too hot, hence I am on the beach

I retired six years ago, and the only thing I miss is the office air con on the concessional spells like this.

Having said that, it's only about 23c down here in Cornwall at the mo.

Firefighter here.
I believe I have spent most of the last two days in a liquified state.

It really is. Just been into town (work in North Greenwich but had a meeting near Tower Bridge) and the tubes are very hot. One of my colleagues didn't make it to teh meeting as he collapsed at Canada Water. He had to be helped out of the tube, and sat down before he came round. Off in an ambulance to hospital.

It is brutal out there, and now back in my non air-conditioned office, I'm seriously wondering how long before we just have to send people home. Not as if anyone is being productive in this weather.

I am in a beautifully air conditioned office and, for the first time in months, I would rather be here than the outside world! I am on until 5:30 today (would be 5, but I'm a lazy ******* in the morning and didn't achieve a 9am start) and then heading directly to the pub, do not pass Go.

The tube is grim anytime the temp is high 20s or above, especially the older lines. Can't imagine what it'll be like this afternoon & evening - not safe, frankly. Meanwhile in Burgess Hill the temperature has PLUMMETED to 39.1...............Brrrrrrrrr.

A cool 38 degrees here in Ruislip, going on nights tonight, to face a sweltering building.....deep joy

Had a spell working in West Drayton, was just wondering how that beauty spot was fairing on a day like this.

Does the Albion have your holiday address for Watford tickets

Should be at Ricardo Shoreham wandering around site in overalls and safety boots carrying my Ventilation Test Equipment; emailed them last night to cry off. Plenty of paperwork to do back at home plus a cold beer and listening to the Test.
Think I have made the right decision.

On a par with [MENTION=616]Guinness Boy[/MENTION] recommendation of Uxbridge, hasn't quite made the UNESCO grade of destination, only being held back by Jaywick.

It's raining here in Shoreham by sea!

So hot the wallpaper won't stick?
