Are people really that thick?

SO - nice hot weather and lots of people will be taking the caravan away for the weekend

to a caravan site which are generally not to be seen with lots of shade
in a metal box

Nah

It's generally a lot cooler at the coast though ! We fled (for once) sunny hot Manchester, a few weeks ago. The coast was a good 5 degrees cooler.

Not everyone can get out of the sun and sit around drinking iced drinks. Not everyone works in an air conditioned office. Some of us have to work whatever the weather.

This^^

Factory work and outdoor jobs are a different ball game to a pen pushers life.

Not sure the Telegraph was expecting this article to read like it does when they commissioned it. It links to an article saying that the writer remembers 1976 and it was magnificent. Maybe where he was they didn't completely run out of water.

It’s about this time my mum would have a bucket of water handy. Apparently it worked for dogs equally well.

My dog was a bit on the thick side

I got back one day in this sort of weather and she had decided to carry her water bowl into the middle of the lawn
(she stayed in the garden when I was at work - it was her safe place - and she had full access to a large garage)

so - naturally - she had managed to spill it all

after that I used to leave her 2 bowls and a large full bucket that she couldn;t carry around!!
