You would think they would be used to it, wouldn't you, anyone would think it was a surprise that it was going to be hot in summer in Spain! And they also say "que frio" every day in winter, even when the temperature is a relatively (compared to the UK) balmy 14 degrees! I just smile and agree!

I must admit that English heat is not as bearable in my opinion, it's really muggy and sticky! Let's face it, there are people in both countries who just moan about everything, any excuse for a good whinge!

If it gets worse I shall simply get up earlier, work first thing and last thing and sit in the shade during the heat of the day.
Rocket science it ain't.
Oh yes, announcement on the TV yesterday. To stave off dehydration, apparantly you should drink fluids.
Now who'da thunk 'a that?

30 degrees and the humidity, I feel like death having to go out and work. It wouldn't be so bad in the shade with a long cold drink.

Oh dear. Have we gone into a petulant little sulk? I can't help it if you post crap. If you do, you have to expect to have it corrected.
I said that it was sad that there was so much ignorance surrounding how much fluids were needed, and what type. I pointed out how coffee and tea were perfectly hydrating, and you wouldn't die from dehydrating if you got more than 5 feet from a water source, despite what so many seemed to think.
There is a lot of inaccurate, foolish thinking and you seem to want to be known as its patron saint.

Me, I drink tap water that is effectively free. I'd say that paying over a pound for a glass of water when you can get a glass of tap water for nothing if you ask means that you have been well and truly conned.
Try and keep up.
