Why do you drive such a ridiculously huge car? There's usually only me in mine, so I have a little one that doesn't use much petrol and is cheap to insure. They're actually after charging £25 to people driving Land Rovers and similar Chelsea tractors in the middle of London now.

because,
1. my wife has horses and we use it to haul them around
2. I live on a farm and use it for that
3. I coach a high school football team (American football) and use it to cart around gear
4. I am 6'3 and don't fit in small cars very well

Of course, a fannypack in the UK is a tampon.

That is because (courtesy of the Wiki):

The name differs because in the US the "fanny" is the "arse", (or "ass";) while in Commonwealth countries the "fanny" is the vagina.

Just Sayin!

Oh also a tip for those that still wear bum bags... it's listed in the 1990's fashion bit... MOVE THE HELL ON.

Bumbags ARE NOT THE MIGHTY MANBAGS - they're a different thing altogether! It's so useful to have somewhere to keep your phone, iPod, cash, cards and obligatory squashed two-year-old condom.

yeah its 114 here today and that is a cooling trend. Its also about 40% humidity. :(

Thus really, noone from the UK can ever talk to me seriously about heat, ever. :)

Surely driving round in a Hummer with AC is only contributing to the problem in the long term. I'm starting to see an increase in the blasted things around Manchester, especially the limo version that stag and hen nights like to be carted round in. There's even a Hummer dealer on Deansgate, a couple of doors down from my favourite café.

I drive one of these:

So, it's the hottest July day ever here in Manchester (if the local radio station is to be believed).

34 degrees (that's 93F for those of you still using 19th-century measurements) - can anyone beat that?

*sits down, sucking seductively on a Calippo*

:cool:


heck, that's every dadgum summer here in Alabama....I've seen the thermostats hit up into the 100's before (Farenheit that is)

*sits in the cool AC swilling down a Pabst Blue Ribbon*

Just a semi serious thought on this subject... how do you guys measure temperature? I know that sounds kinda daft, but it may not be.

You see, in the UK, we record temperature in the shade. So when Cheetham and I said its 34/35 degree, thats in the shade. The official peak temperature in direct sunlight yesterday where I am were 50.5 or thereabouts - ie, well into the 100's.

Oh, and a little factoid, while you're gloating about your AC - whilst around 85% of American households have AC, approximately 0.5% of households in the UK have AC. Because we just dont get this kind of weather.

We have small hand held battery operated fans that die after 2 minutes and was a waste of £1.99 from the corner shop.

That or well toned men in shorts fanning us with leaves... Or maybe the damn heat sent me delerious.
