Heatwave and apprentices
For the last week or so it has IMHO been quite warm.
So why the hell are they turning up to work with jumpers on and only taking them off when it hits 25 deg? The older staff are in t shirts and shorts at 8am in the morning. Central heating has destroyed this country. -- Adam |

One day, it was the normal 80F, and the secretary arrived wearing a fur jacket. -- Davey. |

Well, In New Zealand they don't use boilers they use Heat pumps which of
course cool in the heat as well as warm in the cold, so maybe your apprentice is a New Zealander? Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

The last time I was in Texas they were all talking about the cold snap and were wearing jumpers and stuff. It was the mid eighties Fahrenheit and I was in shirt sleeves. The apprentices were probably getting acclimatised for their summer holidays in Spain. |

Bet he doesn’t get around in gum boots. That’s the dead giveaway. "ARW" wrote in message ... For the last week or so it has IMHO been quite warm.

One of you poms that moved here used to get around in a linen shirt, no jumper, and sandals, right thru our winter that isnt unusual to have a -2 -10C daily range. Everyone silly enough to visit in winter always said that his place was frigid. |
