So, the weather

[titch juicy]

Too hot or thank god we're having a summer?

I have a foot in both camps.

It's a cycling commuter's dream and I live next to a park; however, very difficult to get to sleep last night.

good to see the heaters were on full blast on the top deck of the 176. travelling by public transport not great at best of times but in this heat + with additional heat = unbearable

sales of pimms and cucumbers must be going through the roof!

edit: not on the 176 I hasten to add but there's an idea.

Read that Asda has sold more paddling pools in the last week than all last summer. Love it!

My charcoal consumption has escalated

I was on the 176 the other day and the heaters were on too. Some well-meaning guy went down to tell the driver, and although I couldn't hear everything he said it went along the lines of

I used to drive one of these, why are the heaters on? ... Driver mutters ... What on earth are you doing?! .... Driver mutters .... That's the windscreen wiper! .... Driver mutters ... I give up!

Heating stayed on

Can I suggest a letter here: https://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/contact/default.asp?type=buses

There is someone whose job it is to ensure drivers understand all the controls in the cab - plus, overheating risks travellers getting seriously ill.

When cars and buses overheat in traffic.. with no air blowing through the radiators drivers have no choice

but to turn on the heater fans to disperse the heat. Some vehicles do this automatically..

Otherwise the engine would seize up..

I used to have to do this in my old fiesta - til the neede went down

New car has no heat gauge.
