It's baffling how it can be approaching 100 degrees outside, but we still click on the kettle for the all important brew.  I am currently sweating from my eyes, but still enjoying a nice deep mug of tetleys (the tea, not the bitter... it's a little early for me).

observe the official stance on this from the Britsh Tea Council http://www.tea.co.uk/news.php?showItem=174

'In hot weather tea refreshes you by gently raising the body temperature momentarily, causing mild perspiration, which cools the skin.  This is why in India, where temperatures are currently between 38C and 40C, people are queuing up to enjoy a refreshing drink of tea!'

My dad has always said this and will not hear anything against it.

Fortunately my mother is a doctor and she knows the scientific laws that govern body temperature.  As a result she has taught me that the best way to keep cool in the hot wheather is to wear as many clothes as you can (to keep the hot out), and to drink lots of beer (because it is cold).  It is also very important to wear black clothes because the sun can't see black.

It has never seemed to work for me though  :-\

You do not want to get on the wrong side of the British Tea Council.

Trust me on this, they don't mess around.

I just got some Jaffa Cakes from the vending machine at work and to my disgust i found that for my hard earned 45pence i got a measly 3 jaffas.

I feel cheated.  >:(

Think yourself lucky, some bastard appears to have stuck a dead pigeon in my recycling bin.

Which would indicate that someone has been walking around with a dead pigeon trying to find somewhere to put it, odd. :-\

Could've been worse, someone could have put your recycling bin inside a dead pigeon, imagine that.
