Might be a bit warmer for a day Lapsy, breeze more of a southerly so not as cooling but temps back to normal at the weekend.
Camp at the bar in The Six Bells if it's too hot for you Grin

Was worse in 76, 2/3 weeks constant 30 plus and we somehow survived. Played competitive cricket throughout, no problem, had my best ever season as a seam bowler Grin

I thought the heat was meant to make you feel worse the older you get but i honestly haven't been bothered by it.

I felt Tuesday Dixie,it was just 30 degrees but the thingy said it feels like 36 degrees, today was 'nice'.

I haven't been in the Bells for years,3 different prices for the same drinks one night made me swerve it, different management and a great pub at one stage as you would arrive home with a bunch of onions/carrots with the farmers going in there.

I always thought it was linked to population density and emergency and social services responding to the alert. So London's services need to get ready for a potential influx of call outs and admissions, but East Anglia has far fewer people so isn't a red alert. Could be wrong though.

I'm not convinced that increasing our own population by 20% in 30 years has helped towards our net zero target tbh.
The planet needs less damaging parasites (people), no one wants to discuss it. I can't understand why that is so.

To be fair, scientific advances may do harm. All these drugs and treatments now meaning heart disease, diabetes and even cancer can be managed or even cured.

UK life expectancy has risen nearly ten years since the summer of 76. All those elderly infirm people who would normally be dropping off quite quickly are now sticking around for decades, filling up homes and costing the country billions in care.


Which politician will be brave enough to take this on?

Euthanasia then, or less children. The planet needs less of us and will outlive us if need be.
The survival of mankind shouldn't be down to individual bravery from a politician, should it?

Well the young people are certainly doing their bit and choosing to have less children. Time for the oldies to step up?

Not all of them, and they're not necessarily choosing. Responsible ones can't afford em.
Still knocking em out in the third world, and then coming to Europe. No easy answers here.

Yeah, but the UK population of under-14s was 13 million in 1976 and has dropped by a million today. In the same time the number of over-65s has gone up by over five million.



If you're talking of over-population in this country then it's clearly in that age group. We need more young people to help look after and pay for the care of the ever-increasing numbers of pensioners grimly clinging on to their last breath unfortunately.

Most of the pensioners i know are far from "hanging on grimly".

They are fit and active , a lot more so than the lard@rse youngsters wobbling around chomping on their big mac and large fries.

Of course back in the day MH wasn't talked about enough, but these days it's non stop. No wonder our kids all think they must have some issues in that regard and of course the shysters now know how to use the card to their advantage.

So benefit claimants "game the system" but wealthy businessmen using accountants to pay the least tax possible are just being efficient.

Open your eyes - fraud is everywhere.

Why should one section of society be expected to play by the rules and pay in more when huge swathes of society have absolutely no intention of paying in anything at all but still extracting the maximum they can.

Nasty comments from PoP about the older generation. Not unexpected from him though Sad

Many of our old people are too proud to ask for extra help unlike the workshy and the feckless who PoP defends, many of whom have never paid in to the system or done an honest days work in their life but expect to keep milking the system all the same.

My parents were born during the war years, they NEVER had anything come easy for them. When i was at primary school in the 60s family allowance was 8 bob (40p) a week for me and my brother. No doubt PoP thinks that meant we could live like royalty.

As for "jobs for life"  , you do realise that many of us don't work in the cushy public sector ?
Did you really grow up in Liverpool in the 70s and 80s ?  Not many jobs for life around then were there ?

So now you're just straight up advocating that these people shouldn't have to pay their fair share.

Punching down - allowed. No problem. Let's all bash those worse off.


Punching up at those who've had everything handed to them on a plate and still want more - terrible. Nasty.

Hundreds of flights at London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports have been delayed as the UK's air traffic control service warned disruption is expected to continue into Sunday.

More than 900 inbound and outbound flights at the two travel hubs have been delayed for up to 11 hours and dozens have been cancelled, according to tracker FlightAware, many due to thunderstorms.

NATS, the UK's air traffic control service, said adverse weather conditions meant aircraft needed to "avoid affected areas and be spaced further apart" and this would impact flights for the "remainder of Saturday and overnight".
