17 – Yes ’76, We had borrowed a small caravan and were on holiday by the sea in Cornwall when the heat hit. We hardly dared go out because the sunburn got you, it was very warm! There was also a time, must have been mid 80’s, when we were travelling home from the Welsh coast and the main street in Bala was molten, with council trucks driving up and down spreading sand as fast as they could to try and control the runny tar.
In 1976 I lived on Anglesey where we had a normal summer. All the fields were green.
In August I had to go to Oxford to see a demonstration of an instrument that we were thinking of purchasing. The Technical Director and I drove down. The further south and east that we travelled the effect of the sunshine and lack of rain appeared. By the time that we reached Oxford the only things that were growing in the fields used for grazing were weeds which had deep roots, such as thistles.
I prefer it the other way round, better to have cream on the moustache rather than jam.
Woodsy … to come The Four Yorkshiremen … well of course it can be toof in Oz too … four days of 42C and the asphalt gets tar-puddly … contrast to Russia minus 37C when if you dropped your kerchief, it froze into sculptural shape before it hit the ice.
DAD … I’m not all that far from there and we too have verdant compared to the south-east. When they tried on that hosepipe ban thing, we laughed, avoiding our puddles as we walked along.
AKH … it’s a point about the face foliage.
