nice guy.like i said why bother,dont answer i have nothing left in the air supply

Loopy

It's just said on the radio to keep lisening and Mr WP will let us know when the restrictions are lifted. So, it's okay to keep the radio on but not the aircon. Funny, I thought they said non essential electricity should be saved!

Loopy (still with aircon off)

COCK (that is 3 smilies a whole 3)

This in my opinion only! just about sums W.A up!!

It's 38c inside my house, imagine what it's like trying to work in that without air con!!

I dont have air con but survive indoors with my fans going.

Please!! How third world is Australia??!!!!

The following was written in todays paper:

Air-con and water heaters must not be used, unless required for the treatment of an ilness or the comfort of persons suffering (thats me suffering here!) from an illness.

Cooking is limited to the use of one hot plate, oven, grill or microwave appliance at a time.

Internal lighting is limited to two rooms at a time. External lighting must not be used.

Refridgeration (including deep freeze) must not be used to the extent absolutely necessary to prevent loss or deteriration of food.

Water reticulation and swimming pool pumps must not be used and automatic time switches must be turned off.


Blood hell, I'am glad to be leaving.

poop - my pool pump will be pumping away merrily. Do you think work will let me go home to turn it off!!!

Legally they can fine you for running your aircon, but they're saying that they won't bother going to the effort if people just turn them off (touch of the pretty please syndrome). If people don't turn them off and the problem continues then they will start sending WP people out to check and if the aircon is on then they will fine you.

That's my understanding of what the guy on the radio was trying to say this morning!

They are only asking for peoples help!
Maybe there was a way in the olden days some long forgotten method of keeping cool?

Loopy

Where are you then? Obviously not somewhere hot & humid and dripping!

Perth looks fine to me:

36C, 37% R.H.: warm & dry.

Western Power: Weather WA

It's about 20 in Melbourne, 22 in Syddney, 29 in Adelaide
35 in Perth (just come down from 39) with no aircon.
It's bearable now, but it was a bit uncomfortable earlier, especially for those who haven't been sleeping too well for the last few nights because of the heat.

Where are you Meg?

Hi Loopy


...it will be worth bringing our collection of fans (surprisingly used quite often last summer) with us then !!

it was actually 26 in my back yard this arvo (s/e Melb)

Time for a little doddle in the fresh air - sweat out excess water from all the cold drinks. As temporary measure, take 1 mg of polaramine antihistamine 1 hour before bed to help with sleep.

Second black stump on right: temp 34C.

If anyone wants an excuse to run their aircon, invite me round, i'm sure 40 weeks pregnant counts for medicinal purposes

Yes, if you've got room bring your fans, in fact bring everything you've got room for! Saying that though fans are pretty cheap here, under 20 bucks for a big one.
