Heatwave and apprentices

Jul 29, 2018 5 Replies

For the last week or so it has IMHO been quite warm.



So why the hell are they turning up to work with jumpers on and only taking them off when it hits 25 deg?



The older staff are in t shirts and shorts at 8am in the morning.



Central heating has destroyed this country.


and a few paintings .....

Not all. I am older and in the recent spell just started to feel comfortable with long sleeves long trousers. Due to medication that stops my heart pumping as fast as it should so feel cold even in warm weather.

I worked once in Louisiana. One day, it was the normal 80F, and the secretary arrived wearing a fur jacket.

Well, In New Zealand they don't use boilers they use Heat pumps which of course cool in the heat as well as warm in the cold, so maybe your apprentice is a New Zealander? Brian

The last time I was in Texas they were all talking about the cold snap and were wearing jumpers and stuff. It was the mid eighties Fahrenheit and I was in shirt sleeves.

The apprentices were probably getting acclimatised for their summer holidays in Spain.
