Betty Swallocks
So us lucky buggers here in Blighty are being treated to a lovely heatwave, this being day 3 of it.
There's been some showers and a lovely thunder and lightening storm as I left work at around 5pm today as well.
But I've just looked at my thermometer and it's saying 28.1c - this is truly Betty Swallocks weather.
What sort of temperatures is everyone else getting? Is the UK beating any notable "hot spots" at the moment??

The south west is due some thunder storms tomorow. I hope we get one.
Open face crash helmet, and unzipped jacket, kevlar jeans, bearable at speeds, but still too hot in traffic.
I'd say it was about 30 here today, and probably a couple of hot spots in my back yard got up to 35.
I lay on my tiled kitchen floor, in just shorts earlier. Might sleep in the garden tonight.
It's all too much for a limey like me, I can be outside for about half an hour and I'll be knackered cos' of the heat.
However my wife and her family all think it's crazy that I can still be wearing short sleeves as late as christmas, when they're all bundled up in hoodies and big jackets.
Couldn't in the winter just gone though it was bloody baltic by mid november :lol:
Knackers!
Why? Did someone slip on the wet floor and then cut themselves on the shrapnels of the Saucer prototype case that you accidentally pushed out of your window?
Haha! Same here :grin:
That was no accident. That was no Saucer prototype case.
Do you know how hard it is to make something look so simple? To rig things up? To buy peanuts and scan cassette covers and mock things up?
All for what? A cheap laugh!
Why?
EDIT - that was the 3rd take!

Hope it continues as where i live we just get rain the rest of the time
I've not noticed any rain or thunderstorms where I am, but then I don't take notice of much anyway. I think it's sitting around 24-28C most of the time, which wouldn't be so bad if that didn't include 9am. I think nights are 13-17C (damn sticky).. Sunglasses are a must, I don't think I've taken mine off for 2 days, I'm drinking 10litres of water per day at least, and I must have lost 2 stone thru sweating.....
Bring back the winter, I can handle that...
BAKING BRITAIN!!
yeah its too hot, i am sweating like a pig on holiday.
not so bad in the day, but when you go to bed it's a nightmare. too hot to sleep and too late to watch TV. gah.
It got sunny for 2 hours yesterday. Cullercoats got such a surprise that it followed the 2 hours of sun with 2 hours of rain. Just to balance up.
I'm going to Kent this month. I'll bring some rain with me. It usually follows. If not from here, I'll pick it up as I pass Leeds.
It always rains at Leeds.
They even moved the A1 further away from Leeds to avoid the rain.
Didn't work, not far enough.
You do get a much better view of the power station now though.
I like watching the BMW drivers not coping with the slick, wet roads as I bring the torrents down the M11.
Just put on Channel 4, about 1am onwards theres live big brother, watch that and despite the heat you'll soon be asleep

What a total bunch of munters!!
I must admit i didnt mind the show previously as there wasnt much else on and it was at times entertaining, but its well passed its time now, the people who enter are complete freaks, more so than before. Cant believe it'll be on again next year.
I was looking forward to Dragons Den, that hasnt been on for ages
Leave them alone, you sod! We can't all be the female equivalent of a tiny, misguided, Tom Cruise!
Granted theyre not exactly attractive but sometimes i cant stand adverts where all the people are perfect looking, models etc, just not lifelike at all. Its like soaps when some pretty girl moan they cant get a bloke or a date and theyre often stunning and in any town in the world they would have tons of blokes flocking round them.
On one hand i dont blame Murray for going with a fit lass, on the other hand it reminds me of the famous question Mrs Merton asked debbie mcgee...
"So what first attracted you to the multi millionaire Paul Daniels....'
If Andy Murray wasnt good at tennis and was the usual scottish bloke on the dole, drunk and shooting drugs i dont think she would be with him !
(Hmmm i dont think i'll be selling any Speccy books to any scottish people now ;)
Do you know what he did for a living before shoving his fat face on the telly pretending to be a chef?
A fruit and veg delivery man!
Greg, if you are reading this - "FUCK OFF!"
I'm originally from the south (Where its always nice and warm, you can understand people when they talk) and yes most of us are ex fruit and veg delivery people, sell cockles and eels, are pearly queens or clean chimneys for a living. We start most sentences with 'cor blimey guvnor...'
I'm not trusting the BBC's weather - it's meant to have been showers here since monday. I'm still waiting. Tomorrow's "light rain" and saturday's "heavy rain". Yeah right. I bloody hope so, but I'm not that lucky. The last time they got the weather this wrong a tornado hit London.
Winter can't come soon enough!
OI!!! Wanker!
I used to be on the dole, never did drugs though and didn't drink that much. Things are completely different now that I'm on the insurance - I don't do drugs and I don't drink that much either :-P
The best thing is that I don't have to go to the bloody dole office and have a back to work meeting with a useless twat.
I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

its proper hot in our office, all the girl are wearing skimpy clothes, which means i can see lots of young bronzed flesh but a lot of wobbly cellulite too.
"Feasts" did. There's a special Magnum out now whose name escapes me which has a chocolate truffle in the centre.
