So bleddy hot..ive been naked for two days now...........just getting the washing in...........

We do tend to go into emergency mode if we have a bout of extreme heat or cold here. Just need to keep hydrated and inside. Or go shopping at the mall all day in aircon. I do feel for those who have to be outside though, like my husband on 12 hour shifts in it! Only today to go and the we’re cooler again. Although…. Thunderstorms tomorrow and possible flood warning ha. Gives us Brits something to talk about on our favourite subject, the weather.

Being honest Lizzie I never exceed the speed limit. There maybe the odd occasion when I’ve missed a sign but can hand on heart say that I never knowingly go over the limit. Generally on the majority of journeys speeding will make a negligible impact on your journey time. I would say, agreeing with you, that I am an exception as time and time I am passed when driving on the legal limit to only finish up behind them at traffic lights or build up of traffic. I don’t necessarily agree with all speed limits but they are what they are so drive accordingly. As for the police and crime commissioner

Phoenix yesterday was 46c. We are keeping cool be being in California for a month!

Police and Crime Commissioner. The post is a totally bureaucratic waste of time, just another job for the "boys/girls". Scrap it now and save some money.

A new online offering from the BBC, showing lots of old clips from their archives. Quite a few bits about this area, if you put Nottingham in the search box. https://bbcrewind.co.uk

Where you put your pegs @benjamin1945

Dawson you say? Whatever happened to Dawson? He was a hive of Nottingham information, sadly missed on here

He's made a ton of money from those paying him to cover up!

how many shouted to you that it needed ironing Ben?

Giving the neighbours a treat then?!

no not sold the penny Peveril, take it along with two other vintage bikes around the vintage and country shows

Sold it last year Phil, I was suffering bad back problems, nothing to do with riding the trike it was the struggle getting it in and out of the shed, I do miss it but still get out daily on one of my other bikes

Welcome back Rog! Do they turn a blind eye to three wheeler bikes?

The police don't turn a blind eye to the scooters in Lincoln, one was stopped by the police on the Brayford and got a ticket for riding one on the road and then riding on the pavement, she walked home carrying the scooter

A friend has an apartment in Bournemouth that she lets out via AirBnb. A Saudi family arrived this past weekend …. mum, dad and 5 year old. There were Summer weight duvets on the beds. The man rang up asking for Winter duvets, then said the child would have both Summer AND Winter ones on his bed. Next day he rang and asked how to turn the central heating on! They’re in the place for 2 weeks.

Oh I say! Some of those are VERY rude! A male friend of mine always writes SWALK on my Birthday card envelopes, bless him!

Lizzie I love the heat and could stay out all day sunbathing but this heat has me admitting defeat. Even the evening is too hot, the humidity is high it just leaves us with no energy. If only it would rain it would give us a bit of relief. I agree that we have to make the most of summer because our winters are so severe but never again will I complain that it’s too cold. At least not until winter comes.

Not uncomfortably hot here on the South Coast and it isn’t likely to be as hot as the East Midlands. I love the heat and can cope with it, no probs. It’s summer, lap it up ……. Winters are long, dark and cold in England.

It's only 36 here. I'll wander down to the pub after dinner for a small libation!

But me dad said I sometimes needed a rocket up me arse, now I don't know who to believe...

All this talk about scooters, just treated MrsRed to this, she works local, will come in handy Pure Air Electric Scooter 2nd Gen If you fancy a go it's delivered tomorrow

Providing some of the rules of the road are transposed to the pavement/cycleway. If we all stayed left (including walkers, runners etc) it could work. At the moment it is a bit of a free-for-all.

@mary1947 Gas tar bubbles , brings back memories of the hot summer in the 60,s me and my brother sitting on the kerb at Leicester street , st anns , with a box of matches and dipping them in the tar , also i remember , a song blaring out someone's transistor radio too , it was called Bernardette sang by the Four tops , motown legends !

Alternatively, It is believed that the name is formed from two Celtic words – ʻtrosʼ (over) and ʻhyntʼ (way) producing ʻtroshyntʼ (over-way). Because of the riverʼs tendency to flood and alter its course, this has been interpreted as meaning ʻstrong floodingʼ or more directly ʻthe trespasserʼ. Another possible meaning is ʻa river that is easily fordedʼ. The name ʻTrisantona Fu (Trisantona River) for the Trent first appears in ʻThe Annalsʼ, the work of the Roman historian Tacitus. Researchers at the University of Wales suggest the name is derived from the Romano-British, (aga
