Factor in a footwell job and thats it. Game over.

Yeah, if she sent a pic of her speedo to you who did she send the pic of her tits to?

I don't work there now, but we did go past 40 deg Celsius in our office on one summer's day. Placing the thermometer in the sunny bit of the worktop made it go off the scale (we reckon 50 was its maximum). During winter it would typically be around 26-28deg even with the windows wide open and snow outside. This was because the two small air con units just couldn't cope with a supercomputer downstairs, and a large number of high-end workstations and around 40 monitors kicking out heat in a fairly modest office.

EDIT: found one picture of the thermometer:


Thankfully times have changed, we have relocated and now the office is large and the air-con works nicely

I remember in the 80s being sent home from the factory where I worked once because the heating had packed up and the temperature had dropped below what was deemed to be acceptable. Years later in the Army I mentioned this to my platoon commander when we were on exercise in sub-zero weather and he very kindly got me warmer by making me run around the field, SLR held above my head, shouting "I'm a big girl's blouse". Git.

That hot is, frankly, inhumane.

I can't imagine many decent employers not being prepared to ask staff to work from home or from another site if they can't keep the temperature within reasonable working levels. You can't do much productive work in that heat and for a small but significant proportion of the population it's actually dangerous.

I would fully expect those people in hot places to moan about how cold it is if they worked in this country. We are not used to the heat, so the comparison isn't that useful is it?

The office i work in isn't so bad now we have aircon, but the sealed windows are now the problem. Not having airflow is horrible when it's hot!

Have you fought any wars in hot places?

Do you even have an office that's not airconditioned?

No, me neither.

Lol, we've spoken about this - her dad bought her this in 2009, she's become attached to the thing!

However, the Porsche sits at home most weekdays as I'm about in the van, so she drives that on the off chance.

Unbelievable, isn't it?

I could understand there being no legal maximum temperature in, say, a kitchen or blast furnace. Anyone who takes a job in one of these will know these get hot.

But an office? FFS. I worked in an ad agency where internal building temperatures would exceed 40C in summer. Suffice it to say they were crap employers in every other aspect as well.

No air con in my office.

And strangely enough but plenty of Brits go and work in very hot and very cold places and dont whinge about the conditions. Its only *in* the UK that the whinging culture is indulged.
