Do the hospitals not have air conditioning?!?!
I went to a popular hardware store here, earlier today (B&Q).
Even their air conditioners broke. There were people trying to repair them.
Madness. The buildings here keep heat in.
mateltIt’s no wonder, my 8 year old PC’s PSU blew up last month when we had those 2 hot days, I can’t imagine the state of their equipment.

And the patients?
Likely also failing in the heat.
Talk about the fall of the British empire, they could sacrifice one Nigel Farage and fix everything, but they can’t. SAD!
