I get that. Open fire, smoking and BBQs are an absolute 'no-no' on my land! Grass, trees, shrubs. All is só dry!. Two forest fires broke out. One 10 miles to the south, the other 12 miles to the north.Originally Posted by sprite1275
Unless you are in No10's garden............. obviously.
The fat tub of lard would burn nicely.

Quite right! Cook your food in the kitchen and eat it in the garden - same outcome but tastes less like charcoal, and you haven’t smoked out the neighbours!

OK in Durham probably.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Clearly an amateur when it comes to cooking with a bbq!

Had a walk down the village pub about 3.30. Was baking hot but soon cooled off with a couple pints of Icebreaker Pale Ale. Was cool in the pub as well. Back for tea and chilling now, until the cucumbers and tomatoes need watering later.Been a fantastic day today for gardening now off for a refreshing pint

Did a beer can chicken on the BBQ Sunday, with salad + home grown cucumber and spring onions. Summer is good.

Quite a few fires in east and south london, i’m sure there are more further up the country.
What i find odd is people losing their s***e over extinction rebellion/insulate britain blocking a motorway but the unprecedented heat/fires/flooding is tolerated when the disruption is far greater than any protest.
I don't think it is the same people?
Only coz you asked
people who think it’s just a bit of warm weather and nothing to be concerned about.
Did someone mention climate change? :)Only coz you asked
Living my best life!We had a pug from the block of flats down the road sat in my room (air con) for the day as their flat was too hot for him. He just slept and farted all day

Whenever I see someone driving a car like this or lambo etc, nine times out of ten they always look miserable as sin.

So is today the wake up call this damn country needed?
Devastating fire at Wennington this afternoon. Shocking video on sky news houses , cars and a massive area alight.

I suppose you are using the term loosely

Nice, VD ! With 488 Go Faster stripes too.
My reference to the “nanny state” reflects the gov. pointing out the bleeding obvious ie keep in the shade, drink plenty of water etc.
Given the so called ‘lead’ on climate change by Boris et al perhaps advice on creating a fire break in some rural areas would be more appropriate.
Off to the BP please

So which bit of 'no politics' are you not getting?
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
That's because they know when the next payment is due.
It's not my politics stance - the G&D is a politics free zone as per the wish of the forum owner.

Bear Pits the place for petty squabbling, your arguing over nothing just for the sake of arguing!

No pal - again you're looking in the wrong direction.

I have no issue other than you and others arguing (again) my comment applies to both of you and others.
G&D is not the place for politics, people who use crapatalk seem to be the worst offenders.
Take it up with the boss by all means.

Apparently we are all dumb sheep and need media influence and fear mongering to ensure we understand what a hot summer means.
Clearly can’t be trusted with our own common sense and caring for the elderly and young in our own communities.
We are obviously stupid and totally irresponsible.
THANK GOODNESS WE HAVE THE MEDIA TO KEEP US SAFE?
My most sincere condolences buddy. Heart breaking.
I have invited my elderly parents over as we are lucky enough to have fitted air to air heat pumps as well as Solar and batteries, we’ve been able to keep the house; and most importantly my mum & dad safe in this heat. Dad had been to the GP only recently with chest pains. Comfort is one thing but health is impossible to put a price on.
Keep safe all
Fantastic, thank you!
Back to normal in Manchester already forgot what the Sun looks like.
A bit like The Mirror!
Back to 20 degrees and cloudy today. Yesterday was without question the hottest day I’ve ever experienced in the UK. Mid to high thirties when you’re in and out of a pool and having a beer is OK but for normal day-to-day work and life it was bloody awful.
I hope everyone is safe and well.
What on earth?
Fortunately my house is like an oven in summer and a freezer in winter, so I get to really enjoy a nice hot spell…;0)

Much more pleasant today thank Gawd!
The last couple of days have been utterly miserable although it's still 25 C indoors.
Able to take Dot out for a nice walk earlier and the breeze was heavenly.
These fires are a bit worrying though - look like things to come unfortunately.
Cheers,
Neil.
Still 30C here. Thunderstorms later tonight (hopefully).
The forest fire to the north made that it smelled like woodburners… in the Summer…
Planes and helicopters with water kept flying over my house until 2AM. Those planes are not selected for their whisper-mode engines. Absolutely a great sound. Sad that they had to be deployed for something terrible as a forest fire.
Cooler here today (22) but struggling to cool the house … the upstairs is really hanging onto the heat! Dreadful.
While many enjoy not having having to pay for flights and accommodation to enjoy 40º heat it’s got quite a few people worried, maybe those who are indifferent to a bit of weather should read this fire brigade controllers opinion.

Same here came back from work and house still boiling hot all windows open and 2 pedestal fans blowing have bitten the bullet and ordered a portable air conditioning unit hopefully better than the awful dyson fan we returned last week and only cost £40 more
That is awesomeOnly coz you asked
All car interior photos need to show the steering wheel and the watch, it’s compulsory. The temperature is optional
There have been lots of fires around here caused by discarded disposable barbecues left by visitors which prompted my comment. But I’ve never really understood the appeal of cooking in the garden if I’m honest - creating smoke using coals - or a bottle of gas - when you’ve got an oven and grill indoors? - I prefer to cook the burgers in the kitchen then walk them into the garden on a plate!
