Hot off the press

Hot of the Google homepage news...Today was the hottest day ever recorded in England. Temperatures reached 36.3 degrees celsius breaking a record set in July of 1911. In case you're rusty on converting to good old US metrics that's 97.3 degrees fahrenheit. Now, that might not sound bad compared to what we have here. BUT, I was told that it's virtually impossible to get an apartment with air conditioning in London because "it just doesn't get that hot here." I think that's hot enough for some AC!

I suspect it's true what they told you about A/C in London. I think it's true for all of England. You'll just have to buy a fan and open your apartment's windows. However, before you leave your apartment, make sure you close the windows. I remember reading where crooks were taking advantage of that and robbing people's homes that way.
