Lol. The cameraman definitely needs a cold shower.
Just makes me more depressed about how things are now.

Just one?
I went down to Cornwall for the first time in '76. It was the last two weeks in May, and it was rather damp apart from the last couple of days when "The Summer" started.
Mmmm, British pate!
Apparently, in the summer of '76, I was plastered with ladybirds in my pram on a day trip Weston-Super-Mare!
The innocence back then - no one batting an eyelid, as someone clearly zooming in on billies and bums, on a high street!
If this goes viral, expect some claims, ah tells thee

My sis went to Germany that year and there were millions of them in the streets.
Dave - yes, just one........on that day........
Brigadier - billies?
I'd forgotten about the ladybirds that year. They were bigger than normal, and biting some people IIRC. The heat was nice when you were out on the motorbike (as I was in those days) but it was murder sleeping, and at work. I remember going up on top of a crane to look at the hoist brake. It was just before the end of a 6-2 shift. The hoist motor was far too hot to touch, and you could hardly breath up there in the roof.

Summat a scouse mate used to say, and it stuck with me
Would you prefer the term "fun bags"?
I was 10. I remember the ice-cream vans doing a roaring trade, for so long as they actually still had stock to sell, and my father actually wearing shorts, which for him was an extremely rare event so it definitely was hot! Pitched a tent in our backyard and camped out in it a couple of nights as I recall.
It's funny to think back to how hot that felt at the time now that I'm living in a place in which daytime summer temperatures well up into the high 90's are just normal. But as my wife has observed when in England, even 80 degrees there can feel much hotter than 80 here due to the humidity.

I remember being in central London and Hyde Park was a sea of brown scorched grass - I must have looked a picture in my 26" flares and platform shoes
