Yeah, everyone I talk to back home says it's scorching! My mum's house is great for hot weather, she has steel girders running through it & it's seems to keep the house nice & cool, the concrete floor helps too!

Now it gets a bit hot and everyone panics and doesn't go into school or work! Ah, Britain + weather = Great Britain.

Re: Hot back home.
the wrong sort of leaves, possibly blown in from the Continent, that refuse to behave like indigenous leaves.
Bloody hot and miserable here. Yes, it is Texas, but it doesn't make 102F any easier. Everyone is cross, the landscape is brown, and all I want to do is have siestas and cold drinks.

Meanwhile, 50% of the populace is either vacationing in (or wishing they were) or trying to move to Flordia or Spain...where it's hot as hell.

Re: Hot back home.
Bastards! I have four summers on the trot living by the beach in the UK, and four straight summers of crap weather. Of course it decides to be good once I leave.
