Elis James 1:20
Phew, what a scorcher. Gone are the days, really, where that kind of crazy headline with knotted handkerchief photo atop a tabloid really cuts the mustard.
John Robins 1:35
Yeah, on Friday, Stoke was hotter than the Seychelles.
Elis James 1:38
Yeah, it's more, phew, you're all going to die quite soon.
Hugh Gimber 1:43
Yeah, yeah, the messaging's changed. This is bad news. It doesn't feel as quirky anymore, does it?
Elis James 1:49
No.
Hugh Gimber 1:49
It feels a bit heavier.
John Robins 1:50
I did see... An awful lot of Brits are going on package holidays to Portugal, whereas they'd be better off staying at home, because it's actually hotter in Andover than it is in the Algarve. Yeah, sometimes the Independent do do those long headlines. No, because then I was on the news, on the telly.
Hugh Gimber 2:09
You were the anchor.
John Robins 2:11
I was the anchor.
Elis James 2:12
It's not sort of... I was being Trevor McDonald, actually. It's gone from and finally to... Top story. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dave, could you turn me down just a touch, please? I'm getting a bit of verbal GBH of the old era. um in my ears you don't hear that anymore you don't i've not heard that for a long time um nice thing to say playfully to a loved one yes what's that verbal gbh the old ear roll verbal gbh of the old year i've never heard that before well imagine you get home from a long day's work and anna says dave didn't put out the recycling bloody hell anna I've been at work all day. Come on, get verbal GBH at Bloody Hero.
Hugh Gimber 2:51
Yeah, I'm going to use that. She will love that. She'll love that. Oh, she will love it. Because do you know what Hannah's great in? The heat. Hannah just takes it with a pinch of salt and just cracks on.
Elis James 3:02
For Izzy. Well, salt actually raises the melting temperature of ice, Dave. Yeah. So that's the last thing she wants to do.
John Robins 3:09
It is the last thing. It's like with Izzy that the temperature is 15 degrees hotter than it actually is. So this week, obviously, it's been extremely hot. But for her, it's like it was 55 degrees.
Hugh Gimber 3:20
To be fair to the people that are taking it hard, it feels like 55, to be honest.
John Robins 3:26
Yeah, the humidity is horrendous. My kids have been off school all week. That's tricky. Because it's a new building. It was built less than 10 years ago, and it's like a greenhouse.
Elis James 3:37
Oh, that's good. It's good that they think about those sorts of things. Pretty cool. But glass is cheaper, isn't it? So just make all schools out of glass, probably.
John Robins 3:46
Yeah. If it's 25 degrees, the school is unbearable.
Elis James 3:50
That feels an oversight.
John Robins 3:52
Yeah.
Elis James 3:53
Are they going to get air con installed?
John Robins 3:55
Well, I mean... Because that's going to have to happen. There was a lot of chat about that in the parents' WhatsApp group, but it would cost about £100,000. Yeah, but on the parents' WhatsApp group, it's like, should we have a fete? I was like, yeah. Should we have 100 fetes? Should we have 1,000 fetes and only invite oligarchs? How much would you raise from the average fate? That's a good question. When I did the PTA quiz, I hosted the quiz for the year six leavers do, and I think we raised £1,400. So I just need to do another hundred of that.

How does the heatwave impact daily life and work?

Elis James 4:30
So you need the 70 fates?
John Robins 4:31
Yeah. Oh, raise the ticket price. Yes, and again, just invite oil barons.
Elis James 4:38
It's very... I mean, obviously, from what you're hearing, if you're listening in the future, we're currently in Heatageddon Heatwave, and...
