You poor old people : :lol: :

 

In 40 years time TB, you will be posting about the 22 heatwave and kids will be laughing at you :o


I wonder how many from this youthful generation would cope if 76 problems happened again or would the find walking to a standpipe or saving water by bathing with a friend (had its ups and downs :lol: ) too much and demand government action to turn the sun down ?

The heat was high and relentless over weeks, not a few days, in 1976. I doubt this heatwave will last more than six days though the highs will likely be higher than back then

 

Apparently (source bbc news) it was 15 consecutive days where the temperature was 32 degrees or higher.

Yeah 1976, really persistent heat for ages. everything growing died. it seemed. I remember the afternoon the rain started, already had our shirts off cos of the heat, first drops were big and warm, then we stood there getting totally soaked next to the house. wasn't the final end of the hot days though, from memory.

We had a wet half term in South Wales and returned from Devon on the last Saturday of August when the weather broke. In-between not a drop of rain


We were allowed to take our ties off at school. Most of us brought in a bottle of squash that was frozen overnight. So from my memory nonsense to say school kids didn't carry water.


No memories of plagues of ladybirds. We didn't have a hosepipe ban but father did his bit as we used bath or sink water to flush the toilet.


I hadn't discovered rock music but started to show an interest in the opposite gender


It was nowhere as hot as it is now

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
