I know how they would have really appreciated. I always, if I see them, thank them and the reaction I get suggests it's a rare thing and they are more accustomed to being moaned at.I'm wondering if this country will move to doing the bins during the night as warming intensifies? They did in Darwin when we lived there and it worked well. Less road congestion for the binmen to battle through and nobody to moan at them!
That's a good question. I'm fair haired/skinned carrying recessive ginger genes. I burn easily in the sun and never tan much. We are of the belief that four or five generations ago both sides of my family were Eastern European immigrants so not of true tropical descent...PaulC5 wrote: Yesterday, 12:51 I wonder if whether we like the heat or not is a bit determined where our ancestors came from. If Scandinavian with the Vikings or Mediterranean with the Romans. Once above low to mid twenties it is a bit much for me, when younger my hair was fair so I may originate in the north.
So maybe the old nature vs. nurture argument?
Yesterday, I enjoyed a most excellent visit to Mick the Mavertick and Xantia_V6 of this parish. A clear run both ways with no traffic congestion at all, not even in Hitchin
I drove Strawberry as her aircon works. Wind-down windows and an opening sunroof 
Given the strength of the sun shining in through open windows I was sure to apply lots of sunscreen, not wanting to end up with a condition called 'lorry-driver's arm'...
On arrival home my new alternator brushes had arrived. I still await the oil seal.
And in other news, I am pleased to note the Citroen Car Club have found a new columnist to replace me
Another AX enthusiast!
