Unless you are about to die of heat exhaustion in the next 5 minutes, we don't want to hear it
The next client who enters this building and comments on the heat in any way shape or form is going to be fed to the Hounds on general principles.
We know its hot. We get to stay in this baking suntrap with windows that open about 3 inches, no air conditioning and no fans all day.
AND we’re wearing suits. Shits (long sleeved), ties, dress trousers and JACKETS (alright, we dropped the jackets). We’re lawyers, we’re not allowed to dress down because of piffling little problems like the weather or heat exhaustion (actually we did have causal days once but they were cancelled because we kept showing up in fancy dress. Long story). The judges will eat us. Do NOT sit opposite me in your halter tops or vests or t-shirts and shorts and whine about the heat.
I’ve had to dump my haddock supplies because they’re rotting in the heat – but if any of you remind me that it’s going to be this hot through to Wednesday while actually GRINNING at us I am going to dig out one of the rotten things just to slap you with.

Goodness it is bad. ;-)
Mr being_here just had someone faint in court due to the heat. He's very grumpy.

Legal formality and heat waves don't mix

No indeed. Hot lawyers = grumpy lawyers = bad news for the rest of us.

Listed building. No air con. Mezzanine floor above first floor i.e. in the roof. Velux windows.
Its a miracle any of us can still breathe.

I spent most of yesterday hiding out in the cellar; sawdust, damp and cobwebs are my friends...

I think Virginia is hotter, but almost everyone here has air conditioning. I think I would have heat stroke if I had to work at the bookstore with no air conditioning. We can have short sleeves, which is nice since we spend eight freaking hours running around listening to people either bitch about or praise the weather.

We brought an ice cream maker today. :D
And, I love my aircon... (OK, it's only in the bedroom & PCs are downstairs and OH's laptop (& OH) is not reacting well to the heat, but it makes it so comfy to sleep... We can even, shock, use the duvet!)

when he's home, no AC. no matter how hot it is, he feels cold. i mean really, hiking in a light sweater in +28C is just showing off.
thankfully he's out of town so mum and i have been abusing the electricity. unfortunately, this week has been nice. why do the gods mock? as soon as he gets back, i'm sure it'll get toasty again. ~sigh~
