Lol!! well Yesterday we were told we could dress down today, so i came in wearing a T shirt and shorts and got told off!!! Apparently we're only allowed short sleeve shirts! (I wear short sleeve ones anyway)

Absolute joke it really is. I work in I.T so shouldnt have to wear a suit anyway, i dont know anyone else who works in I.T that does!

Temp now gone up to 32.1
 
Tell me about it, i have to wear aa shirt and tie, and the girls are aloud skirts and tops with no tie...GRR?!

Git! :p

I like hot too - when im not in an office! Temp is rising still, now 32.2. Certainly feels it thats for sure.

News of my T shirt is spreading round the office lol. Its just too hot to do any work. I'd rather be cold in here and put more clothes on, its just impossible to cool down
 
yea i work in a office as well, the dress code they impose is quite unfair considering the heat is unbearable.

not allowed anything apart from short sleeve shirts, thinner trousers. we can be exempt from ties and suit coat but it really doesnt help. im just glad we've got a bit of air-con in the office.

anyway i would prefer the weather to be this hot than really cold and wet in the winter.

LMFAO!!

the joys of being a home carer means im out side a lot so glad i dont work in an officve anymore
 
Paul I wanna see this!!

I work in a small office so we're overlooked when aircon units are bought for staff! Not anymore, we've just conned one out of the guy who buys them as he's leaving soon!
 
paul just wear a boob tube and frilly skirt with no panties... im sure you'll feel better...

isnt their any legislation helping us to refuse to work in certain conditions unless they provide things like ac and cold drinks...

i know at our place we get free drinks all day and are allowed to wear standard dsg 1/2 shirts then anything below the waste...so i wear smart black shorts.

I already contacted health and safety and there's no maximum working temperature in place for office conditions, only a minimum! Bad eh.
 
Employers have to provide water and there is no high temp but a low temp.

Trade unions are looking into getting a high temp installed....

I thought I saw you in blues on friday... way to go with the shaved legs ;)
 
I clocked off early today, the decking I was working on was so hot it was scorching my feet. We ended up spraying each other down with a pressure washer - the blast of air and the cold water is undescribably good in this heat :grinning:

it may be recored temps down there but i still say monday was the hottest day of the week, up here anyways! today has been mildest i think! glad to hear storms are on way lol :D
 
I wear what I blooming want in this weather, an important guy from Philips is in today and I'm wearing a tshirt saying "save water drink beer"!

What I'm hating is I'm that hot I'm sweting, swet all day and you start to smell!
There's like 20 uber fine Polish girls downstairs and several in the call centre, this isn't gonna impress them!

"Current legislation only allows for restrictions on the watering of private gardens and the washing of private motor cars."

In otherwords you can use a hosepipe for cleaning your house/driveway etc, or for spraying yourself down in hot weather :D Just as long as your dont water the garden or wash the car your good.
 
Sutton and East Surrey water have gone one better than that for me!

Sounds very nice!

well shortly after i left work, i was roasted in my K10 - Temperature read 44.3 degrees! (got a picture somewhere). The stupid bloody thing broke down - Apparently in extreme heat, the starters can stick, so i was stuck there for 15 mins trying to get it going. Not happy!!!
 
well i repair jewellery in a workshop full of gas torches..and a room full of 80 degrees ultrasonics and spinners....we dont have aircon
its a job you have to rush about to get all the van runs out on time so no slacking on the net like you lot!!!!!!

only tomorow left then im off for JAE and the week after :D

oh..ive heard a warm drink helps cool you down :S
 
If you splash vodka on your face its the best thing in the world for cooling yourself down, and when it gets too cold, drink it to go warm again...
I have aircon in work at 18c so its cold for me :D
 
health and safety what a waste of time. working on a building site you have to wear trouses in case your legs get muddy or splashed, you can't have a radio as the channel may offened someone else, and you have to wear a hi-vis and hard hat all the time. likely the site agent at the moment is being slack cause of the heat so shorts no hard hats or hi-vis or shirt if you want. but the one that will always be there, the radio if that as to go then so do all the staff. can't miss radio one
 
The drinks quote is true, warm drinks cool you down as your body doesn't need to warm it up to body temp b4 digesting it. Cold drink's however make your body work harder as it needs to be warmed up first to match your body temp!!

It was 30.2 in our office when i left work at 1pm, and rising, we don't have air con and the roof is transparent. So basicly i work in a greenhouse!!! The patient's suffer the most, and some even fall asleep in the heat!! Not good!!
 
It was 91f today at work in the warehouse, but I wasn't in the warehouse, the boss made me load containers today, big steel containers that have been sitting out in the yard all week, when we opened the doors on them the temperature was an incredible 136f inside, we had to leave them open with fans inside and hose the outsides down with cold water before we could load them.
 
i woke up to the sound of rain - i love that :D

Only problem is i was sounding like darth vader after swiming the channel - asthma is annoying in this weather!
 
The temp in my take away is. . . . . . . HOT HOT HOT!!

We have 5 burners, and there not your household ones, They are jets!!!

My next take away is going to have AC in it!!!
 
i think my worst experience in the heat was working in a garden centre. i thought i would pass out and the rabbits and guineas suffered. A GIANT GREENHOUSE. we got free slushies from the restaurant. and half the plants died anyway... any hoo
 
i was in egypt in the middle of July so you are all being big babies :p

was 48c when i left, and ive got burnt feet as a souvenier
