Forty bloody seven! That's too hot, by about twenty degrees, as far as I'm concerned.
Before the invention of air-conditioning, how did people live in this country?

Actually, the sun wasn't a problem. I'm in the financial district, and surrounded by tall buildings. Loads of shade. What it would be like in the *sun*, I shudder to think.

Posted by: infidel on July 11, 2003 04:20 PMEee, when I were a lad we used to get that temperature in middle of night, in winter, in fridge.
Have I been spending too much time in the North of England?
Posted by: Andy Todd on July 11, 2003 11:54 PMNo, too much time in the fridge though...
Posted by: Mark on July 14, 2003 07:23 AMA dry 47 degrees is fine. Next to the pool. With a good book. Mmmmmm.....
Posted by: Alan Green on July 14, 2003 11:47 PM....If the sun it's on top, stay in the office. When the moon go out it's time to take beer or wine or ...what you want, the night it's with you.
This is the way to live in madrid in the summer time.
If somebody of this list want to take a beer in Madrid some day...send me an email, will be a pleasure.
