Hot weather nonesense.

my bro-in-law has a house that's partly brick, pretty posh by Australian standards

Why the big deal about a couple of warm days?

My Mother is 84 and lives in a wooden house without air con in Sydney.

Temperarures in the 30s are the norm for summer. Temperatures in the low to mid forties are not rare either - but they survive.

Why is Britain so soft? They are even shutting schools!

Will we see all local authority housing fitted with air con in the next few years? It wouldn't surprise me a bit.

Doesn't your dear mum miss ole blighty

Although how anyone could go and sit in somewhere where hot food is being prepared, in this heat, is barking IMO!

burger king has air con, as do most restaurants these days.

looks like the dunny to me
guys although Kings cross was a red light area it is now where the hip and trendy live, I was up in 'the Rocks' in a a council type house but their trying to get rid of them cos they won't the places with sea views for the rich, anyway although I hate to admit it I have to agree with joe whats his face, a couple of hot days and we hit the panic button, trains stop etc its bloody sad.
weather forcasters should be sent to w***s .

Hmmm, nice shade of pink, I think I preferred it before. Is he colourblind?

I agree with Joe, we are frightened of our own shadows nowadays. Go to Spain or Italy in August, it's this hot and the locals are prancing about in jeans and t shirts. When I was a kid I just ran about at school until I got sunstroke and fell over. There were always kids in matrons room who had overheated and no one thought anything of it. Nowadays they'd all be in intensive care.

btw why do people go and live in oz with all the evil spiders and crocodiles jumping out of the village pond. I hate the thought of the place, stay in blighty with nothing worse than wasps and midges

In Australia their more worried about european wasps than spiders or snakes
