Ill quite happily trade the weather, You can have our crap hot stuff and ill take your awesome snow
BTW in this trade we get to keep the girls in bikinis and hot pants
No thanks mate!
One of our truck drivers had his air con brake last 40 degree heat wave we had, His Cab temp was 53 Degrees
He doesnt even go down the quarry pit either, hes just a road driver. So us int he Dump trucks have no Air con, Much bigger engines and The heat from the from the quarry pit itself (Normally 5-10 degrees hotter down there). So im guessing my truck would be at a higher temp then his =/
Im pretty much cooked and very very angry by the time i get out the truck on a day like that
My aircon is an ocky strap that holds the door wide open

I recall you describing your work previously Zip.
I tip my hat toward you sir, I've done tipper work in the past (hardly similar, I know) but do recall how hateful quarrys were on a hot summer day and that was with aircon!
Been there for over 18 months now, thats 18 months too long
Hopefully ill be out at the end of the month though
Bringing a thermometer to work tomorrow to seen what it actually gets too down in the hole.
May I ask where I can get this?
Think it's yahoo widgets. They have a few different weather ones like that.

It's an OS X Dashboard Widget. So to get that you'll ned a Mac...
I hope you mean the Watford gap, otherwise i've suddenly been surplanted from the south to the north.
As long as every lead weight in the UK is generously donated to the mass south of watford as it floats in the opposite direct then i agree, great success

I borrowed (stole) a thermometer from work, it was -14.4 this morning, central Manchester.
I know not everyone has been to Canada, but I don't tend to moan about these temperatures due to what I've experienced over there.
Last time I went we were at a zoo and it was was -20 with a wind chill of -30. Fun fun.
Oh and snow snowmobiling in that type of weather is harsh, the condensation leaks out the helmet vents and freezes pretty damned quick. So much fun though.
