gcw I’m a minimal traveller and I love it. Oh no I’ve forgotten my toothbrush - thank god there is a shop within 100 metres of the hotel otherwise I don’t know what I would do.

It’s a cheeky pat on the bum from our man @gcw for ’er indoors. “see you in the room in 10” then a hop skip & jump out of the lobby straight into the intolerable heat of a dangerously overcrowded dual carriageway.

A man now enclosed by rabies and rutted concrete, risking his life for a Sensodyne Pronamel Soft toothbrush. But he’s doing this on his own terms. Packing?! namby-pambys. Our friendly shopkeeper immediately identifies that he’s a Brit stright off the last EasyJet, mainly due to the heatstroke. He smiles whilst telling his mates he’s gonna give you a cum baptism.

Ug-oh! The oversize casio’s out from under the desk! TAP TAP TAP-CLACK TAP TAP TAP Hmm? This calculation seems to be taking a while? TAP TAP TAP-CLACK TAP TAP TAP “65 Billion sir!” A good deal? “ah fuck it we’re on Holiday.”

Back in the hotel room 2 hours later and readers, it was not a good deal. “thing is love, the exchange rate i……”

      Why is it absolutely roasting around a lot of the planet, yet in the U.K. we are having a bit of a shite summer. Very disappointing

        You need to ask that on Jaded Meteorologists Rich!

          mono-stereo this has gone over my head a bit to be honest but appreciate the effort mono!

            The UK media reporting of Mediterranean temperatures is pure hyperbole. No one is feinting. It’s 33 tops today in Calabria and 34 yesterday with an occasional sea breeze.. Perfect antidote to the shit UK weather I left behind.

              Colleague in Mallorca states otherwise, and is visibly showing signs of flagging.

              North of 40.

              Maybe not pure hyperbole 😂

                  A pathetic 19 degrees here today in Suzza.

                  Top firmly on.

                  I will be perma tops off for 10 sweet, sweet days. Woo

                  Mad_Cyril yeah it’s going to be 42 in Ayvalık at the weekend.

                    Along_the_Wire lol. So thick it’s literally unbelievable. ‘it was hotter in the summer of 1926’ etc. Just daft cunts being thickets.

                      Have to laugh at Alistair - its not unusually warm in the Med at all, its only 33 or 34 here.

                      I get what he’s saying though, the map of Europe with temperature labels is misleading, it’s not that hot in the majority of those areas

                      They could at least show the average for each country on that day, it seems they are cherry picking the highest from a particular area

                      Not sure how it’s climate change denying as well, I think we all agree it’s 100% happening. My issue is the lack of action from governments, there aren’t even any restrictions on advertising fossil fuel companies yet like tobacco, we have a long way to go. It just feels like the average person is being blamed sometimes when it should be governments/companies getting the attention

                      Temp isn’t the only caveat though, forest fires and water shortages have increased along with the sustained temps.

                      Plus, 34 is fucking HOT
