Having spent decades in the UK, almost 2 decades in NJ and now in Ontario…I never, ever complain about it being too hot.

40c recorded at London Heathrow today. Poor bastards in their brick built homes must be sweltering.

Highest temperature today was at RAF Conningsby in Lincolnshire, 40.3 degrees.

The hottest I have ever experienced here in Kamloops was 47.3c last Summer. It was brutal.

Just heard a BBC radio newsreader refer to the Canadian province of Saska-CHOO-wan.

God save the Queen.

Indeed!
God receive the Queen
God save the King.

It's weird saying King.

I think I can honestly say that I have never sung "God Save the Queen" in my whole life.

Us Brits are good at queuing....4 miles and growing.

Pffft seen bigger line ups at the Costco free food samples

9hrs right now, not too bad.

I've just received a CV in which the applicant describes himself as "A Gen Y with a decade of experience in... "

FFS.

Obviously, not in math.

T2F

It's the fact that they used the term at all in a CV that appals me, not whether it's mathematically correct or not. Anyway, I looked up Gen Y (aka Millenials) and it is generally accepted to be the generation born mid-1990s to early 2000s. So chances are a Gen Y would comfortably have around 20 years of work experience by now.

To be fair, he did say he had a decade of experience in the energy industry. He may well have had a previous decade or two of experience in another industry, but we'll never know because I deleted it before I got any further.

I also Googled "T2F" but drew a blank apart from a knitting reference?
