      I was in Utah with my family for a funeral during May, and the temperature was probably in the 30s (celsius) / 90s (fahrenheit).

      Most of my family live in the north of England, where it doesn't get that hot, and they were suffering from the heat. Being acclimatised to Australian summers, I found it quite pleasant. 😃

        Pasty Belgian ginger lout.

        I'm neither pasty nor ginger. Just a Belgian lout.

        My favourite weather is 10-12C° and clouded with 5C° nights so I don't have to use any heating and it's a pleasant 18C° indoors. Imagine how I deal with 30+ C° weather and 20+ C° nights…

          My extended family are all gathered in Spain where the temps are in the low 30C’s every day. I’ve been doing this a couple of times a year all my life so I get used to it quick.

          I like the same things Seul likes for my everyday, but holiday warmth I dig. I just do everything slowly and maintain a respectable blood alcohol level which helps to drastically reduce the number of fucks given to somewhere very close to none. Heat in big cities or the UK or Norway I tolerate badly.

          Back to the fam, my oldest child lives in Australia and thinks Spain is heaven by comparison. The same for my brother and his wife who live in Brooklyn and find the dry Spanish heat a considerable relief from NYC in summer.

          As far as IH gear goes I wear my IH-814-IND rolled up whenever I’m out and about and the black version when dining out. I have my IH polo shirts for the same, as well as a light chambray or two. IH tee’s in the evening.

              It's also an unfair comparison cause most US homes have airco, right?.. Yes: I will nag some more…

              I have an A+ energy level flat... It's currently 27C° in it, and it'll probably be close to 30 by the weekend... Nothing I can do... No cooling down during the nights, no airco...

                For the most part, yes….but it's not uncommon to find homes/condos on the California coast without airco...

                You'll find older homes in Phoenix that only have swamp coolers as well...generally in lower income areas.

                  Seriously, I like warm weather but not the current heat. It's obnoxious.

                          In the United States it’s where racism is closeted as opposed to it being out in the open like it is south of New York City.

                              Depends on location. In Colorado they are far less common.

                              Think it, be it.

                                  I was more interested in describing the closet racist/open racist line in the UK but that’s a loooong post and probably breaks forum rules.

                                          Why do people have fighting breed dogs? My 10 year old spaniel cross was nearly killed this morning by a fair ground pitbull in the local park. It was chained up guarding caravans as they set up the the rides, apparently my dog (being walked by my mate's wife) slipped her lead and ran over to play.. big mistake. Currently running at £900 vets bills and the poor mutt is sedated for shock so they can have a proper look at her injuries. The only saving grace is that I do have insurance for her but the worry is extraordinary..
