The media is advising us how to stay cool, blimey I haven't seen it this
bad
since that film with Edward Judd 'The Day the earth Caught
Fire"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MYGonuA4_o This is as bad if not

than the great 'swine flu over the cuckoos nest' of 2009.

this all
very seriously linking us to the
NHShttp://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Summerhealth/Pages/Heatwaveamberalert.aspxwho
asurre us that they take it equally seriously and are doing everthing in
their power to hype up the situation. They also offer some crucial life
saving advise

a.. Stay tuned to the weather forecast on the TV or radio.
a.. If you're planning to travel, check the forecast at your destination
too.
a.. Plan ahead: stock up with supplies so that you don't need to go out
during extreme heat and think about what medicines, food and non-alcoholic
drinks you'll need.
a.. Keep plenty of water to hand and stay in the shade whenever possible.
a.. Identify the coolest room in the house, so you can go there to keep
cool.

Hmmm some sound life saving advise there, I think you'd all agree.

Stay tuned to the weather forecast on the TV or radio.

Now this is very important because at any time the situation could
deteriorate things like the wind suddenly changing direction and a hidious
facial expression will form becoming a fixed personal feature. AKA
Garvey's
Palsey
There is also a chance that sudenly the temperature may drop ten degrees
and
once again it will be safe to venture down to Tescos again and being the
first to hear this news will save you having to queue.

If you're planning to travel, check the forecast at your destination too.

So if were were planning to travel to Malaga and the temp there is lower
than yours here then don't bother going, especially if you can get a total
refund

Plan ahead: stock up with supplies so that you don't need to go out during
extreme heat and think about what medicines, food and non-alcoholic drinks
you'll need.

This one is very important; for example if you plan to cross the river
thames ensure that there are still bridges in place and they haven't
melted.

If you plan to walk across the lounge ensure there are cold drinks on the
other side, also warn or tell someone that you plan to do this. If halfway
across you feel you can't make it, then stop say three hail gores and
start
again.

If you do plan to risk life and have a BBQ please avoid alcolic drinks as
hot sausages under the influence of drink can be dangerous in the wrong
hands.

Keep plenty of water to hand and stay in the shade whenever possible.

Now this one puzzles me as who is going to volunteer and risk their lifes
to
get this water so you can have it at hand? Well someone has to do it ; can
I
suggest the wife if you have one. Myself I lost my fisrt wife in the great
heatwave of 2007, half way across the axeminster and puff........she was
gone turns out she ran of with the milkman.

Identify the coolest room in the house, so you can go there to keep cool.

Well the coolest room in my house is the lounge as I've just decorated it
Al
La Homes & Gardens, it looks great I'd love to sit in there.

So there we are fantastic simple advice that could save lifes.

The NHS/UKMO saving lives today from imaginary problems that didn't exist
yesterday

I'm just fed up with this selfish rubbish from this one.

About 15,000 extra people *died* in France alone during the canicule
of 2003. You are *far* too selfish to realise that people with
existing health problems in the SE will have them exacerbated tonight
and some will be at risk of *dying* as a result. Yes Jenkins, actually
dying as a result. The increased awareness and better training, of the
emergency services and others, might just, save some of them, but I
can assure you that, had it been cooler tonight, there would be some
older, very young and very ill people that would be alive tomorrow.
Because of the heat, some in the SE will *die* tonight, who wouldn't
have done, had it been cooler; however, some will survive because of
the timely advice from the MetO and the support from the NHS, social
service and neighbours.

You, however, are hopefully not yet old enough, or vulnerable enough,
to suffer.....*yet*. Others can make their judgements on what they may
wish for you in heatwaves in, say, 20 years time, should you be lucky
enough to survive that long.

The problems existed "yesterday", it's just that people died quietly
and no-one collected the stats.

Paul just shut up, you are an idiot I deal with so called vulnerable people
that are at so called risk from the ravings of ukmo .

It started with UKMO made its way around the councils especially the left
ones who just love this sort tripe.

IT IS A VERY LOCALISED HOT SPELL THATS BEEN MORE HYPED THAN YOU SELF
PROMOTION OF YOUR INTELLIGENCE.

As I've said if life and health were at risk then ukmo should shut up and
forecast as they used to and NHS should deal with a real issues like the
standard and infection rates in there shambles they call hospitals.

Everything now is stage managed spin to divert idiots like you Dawlish away
from the real issues.

A friend of mine was recently visiting Lewisham hospital when he saw on the
walls tripe like this.

THE NHS WILL PROMISE TO TREAT ALL ITS CUSTOMERS WITH THE UTMOST RESPECT

My friend reflected: are they saying then that they never used to treat
their customers with the utmost respect?

Drivel, rubbish. diversions jsut like the hype on this hot spell oops heat
wave.
