No need to apologise, all this nanny BBC news makes me smile as having worked in the Kalahari and Doha this nonsense we are fed just cracks me up.
I have never paid to fly to the sun but been fortunate enough to have been paid to work in some amazing places so this is suiting me and my good lady rather nicely.
Enjoy your warmer days.

Well, I'm in today. Three piece suit still on (freshly washed yesterday).
Different situation with the kids though - only teach two doubles today - first lesson there are 3 out of 27 in, second lesson 4 out of 29. Going to be a very chilled day......

History - normally I'd be tempted to stick a film on, but I've turned off the projector and PC and the kids are having a nice chilled 'read' of stuff.....

Enjoy your warmer days. I am with you Richard, after a working career mostly in the tropics my old body is enjoying this heat.... The newspapers and BBC always seem to overplay everything now... its nuts. I remember undertaking a 6 week drydock in Singapore with zero aircon in the ship, it was way above 45 deg in the engine room through the day, we cycled our work crews and regulary checked eveyone, making sure they cooled down and were hydrated, with regular changes of clean cotton coveralls.. The biggest issue was European types suffering the dreaded pricky heat rash... Heat in the tropics is managed!... In the UK the world is going to end when it goes above 30 deg C.!!

Agreed the panic mode is crazy. Delhi, Beijing, KL, Mombasa, Rio, Doha, Dubai etc were plenty hot but no one was exploding. The humidity today is what 35- 40%. Try Dubai n August 40 plus c and what 95% plus humidity.
The BBC etc need to strike a better blaance on advice vs panic.
