I thought this was going to be a thread about some hunny getting all hot and bothered at work and drilling the boss etc etc
Am I spending too much time on Xhamster?

No, too much time with Halliburton employees...

The bit about flats is interesting.

We were in London in the summer of 2003 and it was in mid/high 30's...yes it was hot but everyone took advantage, parks and beer gardens were full - the atmosphere was fantastic.

If I were back now I'd take holiday and make the most of it, not have a big ****ing whinge.

The minimum white collar office temperature was always the one that got me. You'd be out in the yard, or having cycled in and the instant you walked in the place you'd have to strip off your 'unnecessary' clothes in the entrance before you fainted. 14c is shorts and t-shirt weather for me back home.

That puzzles the hell out of me, the comment about the flat. Insulation works both ways keeping either the heat inside the flat or keeping the heat outside the flat.

As someone with a bluffers understanding of thermodynamics from my degree, I thought the same.

I guess the problem is the windows heat the place then it doesn't cool. That said, I do question how much cooling is actually occurring in an uninsulated flat when the inside temperate is (say) 25oC and the outside temperate is (most likely) 25oC. Or most likely it's 20oC inside and 25oC outside.

Of course solar gain is the problem there if the flat is in sunlight for a part of the day. The heat gets in but cannot get out again. The way to help it is to open a window at either end of the flat to increase the air flow rate.

You need a cold shower.


Why are people in the UK surprised when it snows in winter and is warm and sunny in the summer? Isn't that supposed to be how it works?

and of course, a fan (which is common in Britannia, not air-con) needs to be in the window to suck the cold air in
