most people who really suffer in hot weather are old people and people that are generally not physically fit,eat a poor diet,dont drink enough water and are not prepared with hat,sunglasses,sun cream etc.....

35 tomorrow, thats looking dodgy. I've been known to  do building site labouring in Israel where the temp was 40°C laying block paving.

Im going to give it a go tomorrow but unsure how that'll pan out as Im not as fit as I used to be .......

Was going to say that today is the last day of work for me this week until Monday and so I can chill with family Thursday.  Sadly I'm out of water and so will be working tomoro instead now, but should be fine

Going back to cold water for few days.  Quick splash a few times is worth turning hot off.

Here’s my pro tip, been doing it for a few months when it’s hot:

Put a bottle of water in the freezer, and another 2 in the fridge overnight ( like a 1.5 litre Evian  or Buxton or whatever)

Then, in the morning take all 3 (2 cold and 1 frozen).

For the first hour, drink one of the cold ones. By about 11am, about 25% of the frozen bottle will have melted, drink this ice cold water, it’s like heaven.

Then keep refilling the frozen bottle from the others. After a few minutes in the (now semi frozen) bottle, the refilled water gets ice cold.

During the day the ice gradually melts, but as long as there is some ice left the refilled water will be cooled by it.

You can keep drinking and refilling this for a full days supply of ice cold water.

Your welcome.

Great tip

Except if you are up north you can't afford evian or Buxton so will have to use asda own brand or similar

I just take a big thermos flask of water with ice cubes in it. Stays  cold  all day. Usually too cold to drink if I put in too many ice cubes.

[dazmond]

i dont take anything extra with me to work than i normally do apart from a blue ice block from the freezer(in my lunch box)....i always take a flask of tea,some milk,sandwiches,yoghurt,protein bar and some fruit plus a gym bottle of water.i might add another piece of fruit like a nectarine/apple but thats it....

ive usually got customers offering me drinks so ill have  water or coffee(or both!).....if im really thirsty ill drink  out of a customers outside tap but i cant remember the last time i had to do this!

itll soon be winter lads........
