I have finally given in! My van is in for an hour having the aircon fixed.
Been blasting hot through the vents.
Cool bag in van with loads of water and ice blocks, water melon and fruit.

anybody else feel the same?


28c here this afternoon and blazing sunshine......i thought it was gonna be a cloudy day so i didnt put any suncream on this morning(for once!).....

im frazzled now.......ive come to the conclusion im not a fan of hot weather...its crap isnt it?

I can't do any physical work for a long time but was getting bored at home.

So I have been out with one of the guys. To be honest it gets a bit nippy sat in the van with the air con on working so I keep getting out to warm up a bit 

Sorry Daz!

Maybe over kill but I don't wear shorts and I always use long sleeve t-shirts.   With all the time spent in the sun regardless of cream I cover up.

really?you must be sweltering!ive seen some people in thick hoodies(with their hoods up!) and long legged jogging bottoms when its 30c!absolute madness(very fat obese people too!)

Nope.. I'm as cool as a cucumber 

No hoodies.  Just like to keep skin covered to stop burning and protection from the dreaded skin  c word. 

Remeber we are out for long hours.  You see builders and road workers these days too keeping covered.   Only a fool thinks it won't happen to them.

I am suppoed to be used to the hot weather since i grew up in south africa but the humidity in london is riddiculous. 

a few tips i learned..

start at 6 or 7 in the morning and finish at 12... after that its too hot..
get baby powder... put it on your balls in the morning and it will stop the sweat (bacteria) ripping up your bits.  Trust me it works.

suncream is a good idea... but i dont actuall use any so i cant say much about that one.

Are you black? Not using suncream is madness for a white man.

[koopmaster]

no,  i just spend enough time in the sun the whole year so that I dont burn any more, UK sun is pretty weak and only the fair skin people get burned.  if you start in spring by getting enough sunshine and a tan then your body naturally protects you from the summer sun.

modern day people work all day in the office therefore only get sun 1 or 2 days a week and they go nuts and burn.. i am in the sun 6 hours a day all week and have built up a natural brown skin. 
most window cleaners can so the same.. yes i did have to use cream for a day or 2 a few weeks ago when it was stupidly hot but now i dont even burn after spending 5 hours with no shirt on..

I reckon you're wrong. Mediterranean olive skinned people obviously do have better protection, but it's still a risk.

[Slacky]

I used to live in the Middle East and holiday there at least once a year, I still burnt like a crisp a few weeks back after spending 6 hours in the sun at West Wittering.

[Stoots]

Yep, i can confirm i am sick of this weather.. cooling down tomorrow, hope it stays that way.

[Slacky]

...and then warming up.

I guess it’s what we get used to and our summer’s of recent years perhaps decades haven’t been that hot for such a long period

I’ve two friends one from central Russia one from Slovakia and there not happy until it’s above 35 c and they window clean all day in it and absolutely can’t get enough of it, it often what they would get most summers

Me I don’t mind the heat, I just cover up, wide brim hat, no sun screen, try to finish before 3 when it really starts to warm up some times not though
