Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted April 19, 2018 You're right, you can't. It takes a certain...je ne sais quoi. @Nostalgia Nonceis still the king of wearing Miami Vice suits anyway. I wonder if we still have that thread where we all had to photoshop him... Quote
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted April 19, 2018 Awards Moderator Posted April 19, 2018 Down in London for meetings today so having to wear a suit. It’s fucking horrible. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted April 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted April 19, 2018 Glorious weather here in Lincolnshire. Just packing my umpiring gear for Saturday. As I am at Skegness I will still need 2 jumpers and hand warmers because that ground is always bloody cold. Quote

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted April 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted April 19, 2018 My office is quite airy so t-shirt and jeans, plus my desk fan, and I'm quite comfortable. Sweltering when I go out for a fag break though. I have a job interview tomorrow just off Oxford Street, so it'll be in a suit, in this heat, in that fucking area. Quote
Paid Members BomberPat Posted April 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted April 19, 2018 I used to work in a suit shop, in a shopping centre that was a converted old abattoir - our shop had a glass ceiling, no air conditioning, and because it was part of a listed building, no scope to install any or remodel the place. Was working there over the summer, having to wear a full suit at all times, not allowed to loosen the tie or undo the top button. It was absolute torture. And it's not like we were doing big business most of the time either - no one wants to come in and try on suits in those conditions. Luckily I was only part-time - apparently one of the full-timers fainted from the heat. Quote
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted April 19, 2018 Author Paid Members Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) If you've ever worked at/visited Parliament, you'll likely have gone through Portcullis House, which has a lovely glass atrium. Wiltshire Council decided to waste a bunch of money of their own shit version of it, except without the air con, or any appreciation of what time of day the sun would shine through it. They had to put up a load of parasols inside the building so that people didn't collapse while waiting to see social or visit the registry office. Glad I spent most of my days spamming my friends work phone with insurance call back services, because actual work was impossible in that heat. Edited April 19, 2018 by Gus Mears Quote

Sorry Spurs, fat fingers and not paying attention to what I'm doing, that was supposed to be an upvote for the job interview (fixed now). Good luck! Quote

Good luck! No worries. It's a very low paid job, so may not even be worth the upvote! Quote

Well, good luck anyway! Don't envy you having to go down there in a suit in this weather though. Just had a wander round sunny Brighton on my lunch break. The beach is a heaving mass of people, as expected. Edited April 19, 2018 by mim731 Quote
Mr_Danger Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Chafing like a mother fucker today. My gapless thighs look like corned beef. Sudacrem everywhere. Quote
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted April 19, 2018 Awards Moderator Posted April 19, 2018 I'll not be complaining about the heat for however long it lasts. After the shitarse of a winter we've had up here that feels like it started in early September and ended today without interruption, I'll be grateful for any and all days I don't have to de-condense the windows in the house in the morning and blast the heating all night.

I agree with this. Prior to last week, when we had some sunshine but temps were still in the low teens, I felt like I hadn't seen the sun shine since around September. I honestly think it affected me mentally. Quote
