Underground

This may get deleted...but I didn't know who to ask. I know alot of user's from here are from the UK; so I was wondering.

I read today that it is hot as hell over there and that in the Underground it got up to 117 F. It stated that your subway does not have A/C. Is this true for the stations and the trains as well? Just wondering because in Chicago we have A/C on the trains, and I couldn't imagine not having it.

it looks like the heat wave is going to hit the UK pretty hard. i mean they have heaters, carpets and the like. and the tube does get very crowded. hopefully they'll be able to produce some effective countermeasures

Too right. We're not set up for the heat over here. It's not much fun, especially if you're working outside.

I remember the Underground authority handing out free bottled water during heatwaves in the past. Apart from that, I can't really think of anything else they have to counter this; that said, I don't live in London and don't use the Underground that often.

But enough about London, what about keeping ME cool? :confused: This sudden heat is killing me. It's too hot to sleep at night, too hot to do ANYTHING outside, my graphics card is artifacting like mad because of constant overheating, delicious chocolate treats melt before your very eyes, and I don't even had my mini-fridge anymore. Why must we Britains fail so miserably when it comes to weather extremes? :slant:
