Default Airing cupboards & lofts

So who else has been spending the hottest week of the year mostly in airing cupboards and lofts?

I think I would have been drier today if I'd actually climbed in the CWSC !

Its not hot at all. You should have been out there in "76" it was 30 plus for months. It was like a desert. And working in it madness.

Its not got cold yet either. You should have been out there in 63 it was minus for months on end and snow was over 18" deep. I worked from 8 to 1 or 2 in the morning for months. I was loaded but tired out as a lad. I could wipe/sweat a joint virtually in my sleep.
It was "manmetal" then, not your mammby! pammby! plastic! stuff.

The men wore the pants and the girls did as they where told. Well those who would did!

What a load of old cobblers!!! Good for a laugh though! :-) :-) Better hide it before the missus sees it!!! I know who wears the pants okay!!!

reminds me. we moved down south in 76 , i was 7 and thought it was hotter because sussex was closer to the equator you can imagine my dissapointment when it rained in 77.
