Having lived for 12+ years in the Middle East I can empathise with you guys.

In Bahrain there is a law that when the temperature exceeds 45C all employees shall be sent home from work on full pay.

In all the years I lived there - it never happened once - even though thermometers at work and at home got as high as 47C -  the government thermometer was the official measure.

Under labourers union laws here you are supposed to be sent home once it reaches 37.5c, contractors just work through it though.

47 is pretty hot, I think it was boxing day 2007 we had a 46 or 47

Thanks Rick!  I can always trust you to put a real spin on our situations.

I remember in the Middle East on my last "holiday" there, the air temperature was 50 degrees, and the deck temperature was 78 degrees (yes, all celsius).  We still had to work.  We couldn't wait for the sea breeze to cool the air either, as we were in the middle of the ocean!!  The ship's aircon couldn't cope either.

I wasn't whinging rick - but I confess I got close to a mild perspiration when the temperature was above 40C. I definitely started slightly sweating when it reached 45C so I used to have a cold beer.

[Dazzler]

I would whinge. I don't cope with anything much over mid thirties. I better pack my nappy rash cream!

I'm not a whinger over temps. In Spain's -3.5 degree snowfields I wore tshirt and shorts, same everywhere else there for the past three weeks. Same shorts and tshirt I'm wearing in Adelaide now.

I know what Jamie is saying.....travelling around the equator area and the hot air is being sucked into the engine rooms and mixes with the hot atmosphere of the boiler rooms, makes a Turkish bath feel like an air condition office

Do you think they might be ready for a wash now.....

I was expecting that. Currently living out of suitcases, laundry is a daily chore.
