@jonsie wrote:Most of the bars have half a dozen ceiling fans but unless you are directly under one whilst it's moving 60 degrees in either direction, they run a poor second to a/c. It's always a cost exercise due to the electricity they use. But a/c is essential in the home.
Now I can understand that @jonsie, though every shop, bar, pub, restaurant, cinema etc has a/c in New York in summer. They'd be unbearable otherwise.
I can remember being in New York late March, years ago now, when it became unseasonably hot, in the high 80sC. It was too soon for a/c. Went shopping with a friend and I kept walking out of the shops because it was so close and uncomfortable. I felt as though I was going to pass out. But mum had a/c in the bedrooms, so we could sleep at night.

The only place I've welcomed air conditioning was in Florida. Not particularly in the Villas we rented but in the theme parks. When you could pop into a shop or bar just to cool down for a few minutes. Air conditioning affects me badly, if on constantly.
I wont even have it on in the car, much prefer to have all the windows open.
I think I must have something wrong with my body temperature system...

Quarter finals of Women`s World Cup kick off this afternoon with England v Norway.
England`s Ellen White could still take the Golden Boot as she is only one goal [+ two "assists"] behind US goal scorer.
Come on the Lionesses

Kick Off 8pm @Mi-Amigo?
I will be flicking over occasionally to watch, though won't see the match from start to finish.
Best of luck to the Lionesses

I'm watching Welcome to the Weekend about the Austrian F1.
God it's hot there apparently. Crofty says he feels like a rotisserie chicken.

Berlin 37°C my son said, on the phone this morning. It's apparently been in the 30s for around three weeks. We celebrate one day of moderate temperatures here

The one place which isn't that warm is Tenerife. My mate is there and said it only reached 19c today

Must be the open waters sorrounding the islands, my friends came back rom there last week and said the weather wasn't brilliant. Which is surprising for June.
On a side note, England are 2-0 up but oh dear...Phil Neville!
Have you ever seen a worse haircut? Worthy of a standalone thread in itself!
