Whoever is in charge of them should have done a risk assessment and stopped them using petrol powered machinery at the moment due to the risk of sparks starting a grass fire

That is a plausible theory - the in-vessel composting plants that have appeared at recycling centres and landfills are frequently going up in smoke due to spontaneous combustion from the intense heat generated by the composting process. The embankment near the Toll Bar will be a stray fag-end...

Exactly. My response - "Happy now? Let's all move on"

@Saddlebrains Someone texted 5Live at 7 this morning to say it was 17C in Hayle, loads of thunder and then peeing with rain!

Lucky to be WFH in Evesham again. Currently 24C (in the shade) and 56% humidity outside (humidity was <30% yesterday, so it could feel a bit stickier today). 26.5C inside. Feels noticeably hotter than this time yesterday, presumably as it didn't cool to below 20C overnight.

36C in South Worcestershire at present. 29 indoors, which i am happy about. is it Sauvignon o'clock yet?

End of Thatcher? We started using Celsius instead of Fahrenheit??

or when interviewees give their answer then when they get to the end, and it sounds like they might have more to say, and they say "soooo ... yeah" and stop!

Can i add "living my best life"? (seemingly most often made in the context of some announcement about their gender and/or sexuality - neither of which i give a fuck about!) :sick:

I heard the "India get battered ..." chant going on for ages yesterday evening, and i wondered what the world was coming to! Footy types now going to the Test for a fun day out and not knowing how to behave. As for the accusations of racism, that just makes my blood boil! Anyway, India *don't*...

Is it another fuckin TikTok "craze" along the lines of the Mega Chippy??? I struggle to comprehend the mindset of people today - see my previous post on "influencers"

Of course - i'm fortunate that i can. But @Blind-Faith 's original post seemed to suggest his boss could too

No - DON'T ring in "to check first" - your workplace should still have a policy in place that you stay at home (and work from home if you are well enough) if you are positive or have any symptoms. Wear face coverings in densely-populated or poorly ventilated rooms (or reschedule meetings that...
