Everyone was a buzz at work today in Dulwich people fanning themselves email
warnings galore about how to survive deadly heat waves even in Sainsbury's the till girl remarked to the customer in front "it aint half 'ot out" to which the customer murmered well it is'nt that bad. 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 worse than the great 'swine flu over the cuckoos nest' of 2009. The mad met goricals http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/MediaCentre/...ases/DH_117306 take this all very seriously linking us to the NHS http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Summerhea...mberalert.aspx who 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 |

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. |

Certainly seems that way. People die in their millions daily, from one thing or another - most by means of natural procecesses, but many at the hands of or because of the actions of other humans.

Whatever you may personally feel, neither weather or climate are one of those criteria for the causes of death over which humanity has any direct control. Never have been, never will be. CK I'm annoyed for two reasons 1) I should have used advice not advise, I was in a hurry and trusted spell check 2) I'm ****ed of with this h&s crap that the agw gung ho metO churn out. As I said I saw three emails today spurtuing on about surving a heat wave. Here as I type in the SE London its warm and humid nothig I've not experienced before and the staistics mondoay will prove that. But UKMO and the NHS make me absolutely sick. Personally I've had a health condition that the NHS aren't the slightest bit interested in as I don't tick the right boxes, patients die on ward like the poor young cancer victim lad who was allowed to die on a ward at St Georges in Tooting as he died literally of dehydration and the ignorance by the nursing staff of his drug regime despite the mother pleading with them to listen http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...beg-water.html Infection rate fatalities have been nearly two thousand per year since 2000 and yet the met office with the NHS talk absolute ****e about so called heatwaves. Moving on today as I said at work we had heatwave emails about safety for a section of the community that the person sending those emails high up within the care profession is trying to foster out to strangers to save money. The whole system is now run on lies and fabrication like swine flu. I'm stopping there as I feel a blood vessel is going to burst. |

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. |

Such selfishness and lack of concern for others is just inexcusable. |
