    I know! Yuck. We've turned the house in to a cave practically to try and keep the heat out, have no ceiling cavity because of a flat roof so it's roofing iron straight on timber ceiling panels and apparently the previous owners never saw a need for insulation when they renovated. North side is practically all glass too so we basically live in a hot box!

    My youngest suffers badly from blood noses in the heat so I've just sent Timmy and them of to the cinema's to escape the heat somewhat.

    Anyone working today and tomorrow needs to take extra care to stay hydrated and know how to recognise the symptoms of dehydration

    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
