Good people of Britain...........PANIC

Booked Mon and Tue off to avoid it as my weather thing said it dropped cooler Weds. Dammit. Bet I go back and it's even hotter haha.

Due to be 30+ Weds and Thurs...

First day of summer is the longest day of the year - 21st June.

That's why counter-intuitively, days get shorter during the summer.

Why is it referred to as Mid-Summer's Day?

 

[PPB]

Didn't we have about 3 weeks of dry 20-25c weather before today?

Maybe I've just been spoilt for the last 19 years and this just feels shit

 

[b3h]

Why do you think there's so many sunbed places heh

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Same reason there are loads of Turkish barbers, hand car washes and vape shops tbf

:icon_lol: They are everywhere ain't they, resulting in many orange looking folk everywhere.

You don't put your hair in the hands of a Turkish barber do you DW? Surely not.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I do not.

I know why they're everywhere though :icon_lol: And like the other three examples, it isn't to make money.

 

[Stan Hullis]

The turkish barbers are really good actually.

Very cheap and cash only.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yes, I wonder why

I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about. I know a lad at work who likes his hair/shave done at them.

Are you suggesting they're a front for drugs or something?

Barbers are a cash business, inflating the takings is a great way to launder money. Stafford, a town of about 60k, has 50+ barbers....

Midsummers is just a festival surrounding the solstice on the 21st. Midsummers Day is usually the 24th.

In Sweden it's a big thing and a national holiday.

I see.

 

[Keef]

Fast food joints and taxi firms are the same as well,lots of business paid in cash,ever wondered why taxi drivers say they've been robbed it's always they took £500 or so takings,that's an awful lot of £10 trips in a night

Isn't there a clue in 'Mid' summer though?

Are you saying all those murders are on the same day ??

 

[Pablowolf]

They are.

The single bloodiest day in human history after Hiroshima.

 

[Pablowolf]

Took the afternoon off to do some gardening, but that can kiss my butt for a few hours at least.
