feeling hot hot hot!
4 Answers
Does anyone else work in a place where the temperature is set by a 90 year old 4 stone woman? It's 24 at my desk, the council thermometer says "HOT - reduce heat but stay warm, babies may overheat!" I have moaned twice this week but apparently everytime they adjust the temperature someone complains they are cold! Is knitwear illegal or something?

Sounds like the average office.
I used to get really fed up of people who got out their thermometers and complained it was freezing C, or put on a coat and scarf to make a point, just because the temperature had fallen to 22 degrees C.
I'd rather it be cool than too hot. Being too hot can be unbearable and there are only so many clothes you can take off. Oddly there is no legal maximum temperature but there is a legal minimum.

Yes Yes yes, thank god i'm not alone!
i work with someone who was obsessed with putting the heating on full blast! They waited until I left the office then turned every radiator on full, when I returned I would hear the radiators ticking and know I was going to spend the rest of the day sweating my arse off!
I tried to explain that the heating doesn't need to be put on fully and perhaps that halfway would do to take the chill off! I suggested that putting a sweater on might help, I spent my time either going round and opening up every window door or going outside to cool off! It all came ot a head when we had our last recent hot spell and they cycled into work all hot and sweaty.....so they turned on all the radiators to "dry" off there sweaty cycling gear! we have since had a memo round saying staff are not allowed to touch the radiators and the heating will be managed/watched by the manager!
