Parents who don’t watch their kids at stuff. Just took my daughter swimming and everytime she finishes a length she looks up to see if I saw, but there’s other parents there who don’t look up from their phones the whole half hour . I can see their kids looking at them to see if they were watching , I get tempted to lob their phones in the pool .
With the parents still attached?

Weather warnings on the telly. Some sanctimonious prick telling me, in the middle of June, mid summers day just gone ( clue there) that 'today is going to be hot.......' Its not its going to be warm, because it is the middle of June and its summer.
'So drink plenty of water'
Good job they reminded me as I was just filling up my water bottle with battery acid.
'Its going to be the hottest day since 1976'
Was 1976 the first time people starting keeping records on the temperature in summer by any chance? **** knows what we all did before that. I remember every day during summer being sunny when I was lad. Swimming in Barmy drain, floating down the River Hull on a raft made up of old doors and a couple of oil drums tied together with a bit of old rope. But some good advice followed this morning, something I'd never would have thought of......'if you see someone struggling in open water throw them something that floats'
Well I never, I'd have thrown bricks at them, wouldn't you?
'Wear plenty of sun cream'
We didn't know what sun cream was until we started going abroad.....for even hotter weather in the late 80s'.
Global warming my arse.
Don't remember many 'severe weather warnings and useful advice during the first two weeks of June when it was grey skies and pissing down every day.

100% agree .... including the 'alarming' red colours rather than the old nice smiley sun graphic they used to use.
That said, when talking of 'the good old days' ...... bit worrying looking back to times we didn't know any better .... like going spud picking all day long with bare top in the open fields, no suncream, no hat ..... then following days covered in peeling skin from the sun burn. Not sure that was particularly good!?!?!

It ain’t global warming I’m worried about, it’s becoming ****ing stupid.
Thousands of OAPs died from heat related illnesses in 1976. If the advice saves one pensioners life, it is worth all of us having to bear being suggested to hydrate at regular intervals when the mercury hits the big 4-0.
Meanwhile.. 13 degrees where I am... What heatwave?
Drink plenty of hot soup/bovril,avoid alcohol and get your log burner on but make sure you're using smokeless fuel...The Ice age is coming.
What really grinds my gears is the line "if it saves just one life it's worth it" and the people who say it.
Sometimes it isn't worth it.
Sometimes it isn't worth it.
The danger here over the next few days isn’t the high temperature it is the humidity.
Not being able to cool down through sweat leads to it.
Yesterday we witnessed young including very young children, with no visible sun protection.
In my last post, I mention uv swim wear. I have worn this sort of stuff for quite a while as part of my scuba gear when abroad.
But the high number of people wearing it on the beach yesterday was quite good to see.
My local council has now started to take action around its workers to reduce the risks. But nothing to help the older generation who may struggle.
Only saw a news flash banner so don't know the whole story but suggesting banning the sale of alcohol during the heatwave.
End of June and not had one day over 20 degrees yet and it's been pissing down most days since Easter...
