It's not ideal, but I suppose with the fuel stored in sealed tanks, as lomng as they are not made of material which will corrode due to the presence of water, and they won't be, then the "problem" is likely not significant. You wouldn't want the actual pump electronics etc. to get under water, but ground level flooding shouldn't do much if any harm. I'm not a fuel storage engineer, mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 The time before last it flooded it had to close. The shop still hasn't reopened as there is now a portacabin instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 April. In Summer attire: shorts, light tee, hat and shades. Ducking inside to avoid getting crispy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 **** weather. Bring me rain and snow. I'll get the rain undoubtedly when we finally get to Wales in a couple of weeks. And I'll **** love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 You know it’s too hot when the fan is just blowing warm air in your face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Beautiful day out there. Been out for a walk over the hills - very warm indeed. @Stevo985, not the same thread as the original conversation (I think it was in the Wonder thread) but I shut my windows at about 10am this morning and closed my curtains at the front of the house at about midday. Having just got back in from the walk (like I say it's about 32/90 out there), it's beautifully cool inside (in relative terms - it's still about 21/70 in the front room) so I'll be keeping the curtains closed and the windows shut until late in to the evening (at least on the sunny side of the house). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 36 degrees in the car just. Not helped by being a black car with black interior. Least its not leather or i'd need to be scraped off the seat with a spatula. Air con doing a good impression of a cat sneezing for all the use it is. Need to get that sorted. Its that warm i've just opened a can of Lilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what to think anymore. I got home yesterday after work and the OH was out so all the windows were closed. It was horrific in the flat. Hot and muggy. Today I’ve had all the windows open all day even though it’s 31 outside and it’s nice and fresh inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bielesibub Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 It has been way too hot for my MS today, thankfully it's cooled right down, winds picked up, clouded over, wonder if it'll rain? The weather is bonkers, we're probably way overdue some biblical event, think I'll go find my sandwich board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted July 31, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2020 Thing is, this is what every summer is like, for a couple of months straight, in the US and much of Europe, every year. Totally unremarkable. In Britain, we get the odd day like this and we freak out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the benefit here was that I was able to keep the place at close to the overnight temperature as it didn't heat up. If it were already warm/hot then yep, I'd be opening everything to get some airflow through. Edited July 31, 2020 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
