Suntan lotion?

I'm in a bloody office for 40 odd hours a week all summer. I'll be as pasty after the heatwave as I was before it.

Bastard job.

Heatwave guidance

The Department of Health has advised people to keep their homes as cool as possible and remembering the needs of friends, relatives and neighbours who could be at risk is essential.

"Windows should be kept shaded and closed when the temperature is hotter outside than inside.

"People with respiratory problems should stay inside during the hottest part of the day," a DoH spokesman said.

Other advice in the government's heatwave plan includes to drink cold drinks like water or fruit juice regularly and avoid tea, coffee and alcohol.

Help the Aged and Age Concern welcomed the advice.

A spokesman said: "Older people, especially those on medication, can often find coping with the heat particularly difficult."

The way there banging on you would think that we were in the Sahara.

Also who shades there windows in the summer?

And avoid alcohol Beer drinking weather

Still 10 degrees under what the vast majority in this country will have experienced abroad. So nothing new.

But as for doing a 9-5 in it, no fooking thanks.
