The heatwave

[islaydarkblue]

Police don't police anything except the internet.

NHS......**** me heroes heroes I tell you

Fire service.....great at table tennis, no **** I've known or will probably ever know has set themselves on fire .....mind you there's a heatwave so may spontaneously combust

Over twenty years ago a green keeper at Machine Golf Course who was also a part time fireman managed to set the peat bog beside the golf course on fire when he threw away his lighted cigarette end.
However it was covered up that a part time fireman managed to set a peat bog on fire because Climate Change was not flavour of the month back then.

I saw that, increased pressure on NHS, fire services and police........... why though?

Because the might suffer from heat stroke.
The summer of 2003 was very warm and there were no weather warnings.
Yesterday I heard a weather forecaster on the BBC state that this was the first ever Red weather warning about the heat in the U.K.
The Met Office putting out Yellow, Orange and Red weather warnings is a relatively new phenomenon in the U.K. having only started in the past ten years.
I cannot remember the Met Office putting out a Red weather warning when 18 inches of snow fell in Dundee at the end of November 2010 which was during the Admin2 season.
