England’s first ever red warning for extreme heat on Monday and Tuesday.

[Trigger]

Load of bollox. It's going to be hot, be careful!! You'd think they have something better to do.
Next week they'll be warning people to carry un umbrella in case it rains. As if people cannot work these things out for themselves.
How much are these civil service clowns getting paid to issue this crap?

Well it's their first red warning for extreme heat so probably worth putting it out.

I think unfortunately you give too much credit to the general population.

The only reason its the first is because they haven't been doing them very long.
Saying I'm giving too much credit to the general population is a pretty insulting remark to them.
People have enough sense of self-preservation to know when they are too hot and to cool down just have the have enough sense not to go for a stroll in the middle of a gale. There were no red warnings in '76 or '03 but we didn't see people in the street walking into the sun and dying like lemmings. We survived. (Ok the lemming remark was a bit OTT )

Them?

He's talking about people like you.

Them?

He's talking about people like you.

And you you clown.

Or don't you consider yourself part of the general population, like you are of superior intellect and above such generalities?
(We don't really need an answer to that do we?)

I'm a member of the general population alright, and I certainly don't consider myself to be of a superior intellect to the average person. Not by any means.

I think you're almost certainly as thick as a pail of pig shit, though. Everything you've ever posted on here has suggested as much.

You know nothing of me and you just throw insults to make yourself feel superior, but you're not. You are a clown.
How thick is a pail of pig shit, and is that bigger than a bucket? And is it imperial or metric measure?
Asking for a friend!

[The Lone Gunman]

You know nothing of me....

I know more than enough to form an opinion. Sadly.

The 1976 heatwave is understood to have been the cause of 20% 'excess deaths' and there were significantly more hospital emergency admissions from 24 June to 8 July 1976 than for the same period in 1975 or 1974.This compares to 59% excess deaths for the 2003 heatwave.

And you honestly think that if they had issued a magic RED warning that that figure might have changed significantly?
you obviously give the average citizen more credit for common sense than trigger does.
