@richwgalvin Most of us rent houses, can't afford to own one. So we have no choice to install air con. It should be a legal requirement if heatwaves are predicted to get worse.
@NotAve33@Number10cat The UK is not built for hot weather like those other hot countries, so it's much worse. No air con, thick walls, insulation, carpet, small homes, no open space inside, no bus or shopping centre is air conditioned either. Very humid here too as we are an island
@gratuitousviole@Carrdivario@thetimes British Christians are not currently marrying their cousin, you're talking about long in the historical past where society was very different
@saustomatkfcv4@PopBase Yeah but those are "hot" countries all year round built for heat. Where was the UK is a cold country build for cold weather only, so no air con, thicker walls, smaller homes, not open plan, very humid island, and the people are physically not adapted to hot weather.
