sadoldgit Posted 16 July, 2022 Share Posted 16 July, 2022 We were in Paris during the heatwave of 2003 and saw many people collapsed on the pavement being treated by paramedics. I think they estimated that it was responsible for another 2500 deaths. It can be dangerous for those with cardiovascular issue as the heat thickens the blood. My Dad died of a massive coronary on a day of excessive heat here. I know it seems funny to hear people telling us to drink more water and to stay in the shade but whenever we have heatwaves there are always those who don’t take proper care, many of whom pay the ultimate price. There have been a number of drownings in rivers already. A few years ago there were multiple drownings just down the road from us in Camber which seemed especially odd as you have to walk for miles to be able to swim at low tide because it is so shallow there. It might be a laugh to people like Batman, but hopefully the warnings will help save lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you admit it was all bullshit when you claimed you’ve prosecuted rape and domestic violence then a few weeks later also claimed you prosecuted knife crime whilst working for the CPS. About time. The problem with being a serial bullshitter is that you need to remember what you’ve lied about. You end up outing yourself.

If you know Camber you will know that there is no where else to park your car legally once they are full and people usually leave their cars parked on double yellow lines as well so there is no where to park. When you go on holiday do you think it is fun to spend two weeks sitting in a traffic jam? Perhaps I missed something but if that is the case why not just sit in the car on the drive rather than sitting in a jam between your house on the beach?
