I told you it was too hot, damn it!

Bookies slash odds on the British summer hitting 100f....

William Hill have cut their odds against UK temperatures reaching 37.7C (100F) this summer from 16/1 to a record low of 14/1. This is despite the news that after a peak in temperatures early in the week weather forecasters predict a return to rain.

Even in the sweltering summer of 1976 the odds never dipped below 16/1, Graham Sharpe, Hill’s spokesman, said.

Yesterday the hottest place was deemed to be Barbourne in Worcestershire, at a little more than 30C. Today it is likely to reach the low 30s in many areas, especially the Midlands and Oxfordshire.


Turn me over, mother. This side's cooked.

Or, if no large body of water is available or clean enough to go into, you may also take a cold shower and dry off by standing dripping wet and stark naked in front of the fan. It will keep you fresh as a daisy for minutes at a time!

When you're as clumsy as I am, there are dangers inherent in that approach I do not care to contemplate....
