October heatwave

So the UK is basking in temperatures of 26 degrees C. It is the hottest October since records began. Brightonians are sun-bathing on Brighton beach. Next thing will be the complaints,- no barbecue coal in the shops, no bikinis in the shops, no suntan lotion to be had for love nor money, hose-pipe bans and elderly people going down with heat-stroke.

Of course it does not apply to Scotland which is enjoying a continuation of the summer weather.
