Eggs? Who's got them rotten eggs?

caddymanI really and truly do not like this weather. As stated ad nauseum over the years, it’s not the heat so much as the humidity.
The problem is in a city like London, there is no where for the heat to go; it reflects off every surface and bakes you. The traffic, despite dear old Red Ken’s congestion charge, is thick enough to create a petrochemical soup never intended in nature. I can feel it on my chest, the pollution that is like the worst sort of hay fever. And the air in London is clean compared with some cities; how do the poor sods cope in Athens or Mexico City?
I dread to think what it will be like this afternoon on the way home, or by the end of the week, if the weather forecast is right and temperatures stay at these levels until the weekend.
