It could be just a normal flat who knows. But yesterday where i was was about 33c it was ridiculously hot. Im dreading what today and tomorrow is going to be like. As a Cypriot i am use to the heat as cyprus gets this kind heat july until September time. But we have AC everywhere there and pools and beaches. Its gonna be unbearable if it hits that temperature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) 35.9 was the highest recorded temperature in the gammon's beloved 1976. Reckon you could roast a gammon in 40 though. Edited July 18, 2022 by Wainy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2022 Gonna be hotter in Solihull this afternoon and tomorrow than it will in Cairo. I've currently closed all the doors and wondows and closed the curtains. it's 23.7 in the house currently. Hopefully it won't get too much hotter than that. I know it was 24 outside when I close all the doors etc. It's probably 25-30 outside now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2022 I've gone on the Northern Line in the middle of winter and come out sweating, so anyone mad enough to use the Tube this week has my sympathies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening the windows and having your curtains open really isnt a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2022 On a side note, my parents managed a hotel in Moseley during that summer of '76. They had a bar/nightclub as part of the hotel. They said the night the first rain in weeks came everyone was so happy they all went out into the car park and danced in the rain instead. Could be absolute bollocks, but it's nice picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 All these comparisons to 1976 and statements about how we just got in with it all sound a bit (and I hate using the phrase) 'gammony' to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Well anything is either woke or gammon now isn’t it. We’ve managed to polarise basic English, kudos to us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick scroll down Twitter confirms that '1976' has displaced 'woke leftie snowflakes' at the top of the Gammon charts this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Lifeboats Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I am very amused to read the number of people who (like me) remember the summer of 1976 and claim we are overreacting. In 1976 I was sucking lead paint of asbestos ceiling tiles whilst smoking 40 Park Drive a day. It never did me any harm.............cough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 1976, the year I first had a bit of nookie. I remember it more for the American Bi-Centennial Football tournament that was on. Naturally it was a bit on the warm side too. So was the weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
