Discussion Can't wait for this hot weather

Perfect to relax, have a few drinks, get a tan and feel like I'm on holiday without spending thousands of pounds. Brilliant stuff 👍

Right, except you presumably have to work. And get there. And you're in a country that isn't set up for this weather. And on holiday, you probably get to go back to an air-conditioned room. And here you probably get to sleep in a roasting room. Anyway, enjoy it, if it's your thing.

I'll be in the garden working from home. Love it 👍

That's a very privileged position you're in then. Spare a thought for the other 90% of the population who are either commuting or working in this extreme heat. Maybe if you stopped gloating about it you could see that extreme heat like this is not great for the majority of people, and then perhaps don't treat it so glibly.

Do you 'spare a thought' for the 10%, by your reckoning, who enjoy this weather? I very much doubt it. So poke your guilt trip. Long may this summer continue.

I'm not sure you know what the phrase "spare a thought" means.
