Though England isn't a "hot" place, by a long shot, 30°C with no AC is fucking crazy…
Summers are vile. And 30C in a country not used to extreme temps must be brutal.

I want Winter. Jackets, Flannels, woolcaps… That kind of stuff.
Agree with that.
hell yes.
I mean hell, yes.

So there's more market for kids attire than larger adult attire?

If the people who have been fielding consumer requests for decades say so….. Then you can confidently say the answer is Yes.

it's a good thing you guys don't have humidity down there. i'm usually melting in 90 degree heat with humidity
-
Same here. Today will be 96* but with almost 70% humidity. Instant gross.

I have lots of family around Phoenix. Putting a giant metropolis in a place where climate and geography so strongly oppose one has always struck me as a particularly stupid and arrogant human endeavor. The resources (from elsewhere) required to make it habitable, and even golf course laden, boggle the mind. No offense to Phoenix dwellers intended.

I've spent quite a bit of time out there, don't mind it after the humidity of my current locale.
Plus I could never figure out: are these people in Scottsdale because they're rich, or rich because they're in Scottsdale?
-
They're in Scottsdale because they've made poor life choices.

lol @tvenuto and @Chris. Scottsdale…I'm a Phoenix native born and raised on the Westside of town. Literally only been to Scottsdale a handful of times in my life. We call it Snobsdale on the westside. No offense to anyone from or in Scottsdale. I actually have a few friends who migrated that way cause they wanted to feel rich.

Hey man, no offense taken. I was born here so I have no choice…well I mean I guess I do I'm a grown ass man and I can up and move if I want but it just doesn't make sense for me on so many levels at this point in my life. But it has always kind of boggled my mind the amount of people that migrate here every year but then again I have never had to deal with the extreme cold or "shoveling snow out of the driveway" as my dad would always say about his native Ohio.
However I do have to say that the desert really can be a beautiful place to be when it's not 158 degrees and the housing is still relatively cheap compared to other parts of the country... so I see the draw. The city is just getting too damn big, especially in terms of square mileage. You can easily drive for over an hour on the open freeway and still be in the Phx metro area.

As much as I dislike frigid temps and extreme heat I can't imagine not living somewhere that has 4 seasons. Half of my wardrobe would be rendered useless. My ex-wife has an aunt/uncle and some cousins in Phoenix. When we were married we had talked about visiting but now that isn't happening
