When do you say it's *hot*?

P.S. A thousand years ago at a medical station in Kenya, served by aircraft I once got a pic. of no fewer than nine lions congregated under the shade of a light aircraft's high wing. I seem to have mislaid the pic. alas.

Stunning post, Trtnsmth. B&B is used to that sort of thing, of course. They get it for four long Summer months every year on Clydeside. The Strathclyde Police have a devil of a job keeping their traffic cones from flowing down the gutters ! The heat even melts the ice cream as well.

Aye very good! for months, read hours. That's closer to the truth! Traffic cones being washed out to sea, that's more likely, I have memories of a story in the newspapers many years ago, where a yard full of empty sherry/whisky casks were washed into and off down the Clyde after a typical Scottish day of weather, you know, so wet that with waterwings, you can fly!

Thanks Ralf.

I knew that pic and others like it had gone viral years ago. I lost it out of my collection when the mother board of my computer died.
It was a negative on film, long ago.
