That is a real shocker! I thought you were much older than that, TTT.
Our homes and workplaces aren't built for heat. Very few buildings have air conditioning; we don't take siestas when it is hot. School hours in hot countries are different, usually finishing much earlier.
We are not used to it. When my sister visits us (she lives in a hot country) she has to wear coats and jumpers whilst we are in t shirts. She has an electric blanket on the bed.
Animals will be struggling in this heatwave, too. They must be wussies

On the radio news this morning, they are warning that 'people will die'! It's the same if we ever have heavy snow, the country grinds to a halt and yet when I was a kid, we always had heavy snow day after day, but life carried on.
Yes, we live in a 'nanny state' and we are a bunch of wussies !
I just hope people have the sense to keep their pets safe in the heat and look after them as they should, as I will be doing with my beloved dog. I'm not bothered for myself at all, I don't need a nanny
state to tell me how to keep 'safe' in hot weather ...

untitled: "toratoratora seems to think that just because he was at school during the 1976 heatwave this means that it was obviously a good idea and a sensible thing to do. " - well we just got on with it, same when it snows, these days they close the schools! we went in even when the heating was broken and did lessons in our coats and had massive snowball fights at break time! Bunch of snowflakes these days.
Advice is welcome especially when records are being broken. Elsewhere folk evolved to cope and their society is better prepared because it's normal there. Here we get reports of wildfire across Europe and know there's an increase risk of death by folk not used to coping with it. It all seems fair enough to me.
