while not perfect, and never will be, going beyond the line is never acceptable.
reaching the line is questionable given the subjects involved (adult limitations to kids)

People like my dad still come out with ‘It was regularly this hot when I was a boy, I remember months of no rain, and we just got on with it’. Like, no, this is possibly the driest Spring on record. It wasn’t like this when you were a kid, certainly not regularly.
Thanks goodness - huge snow drifts on the Isle of Wight in the early / mid-1960’s (I’d have to look up the exact date). Other end of the extreme - big heat wave in 1977, at RAF Finningley, training as AEOp. Where feasible, a lot of the lessons were run outside the main building, it was impossible to sit inside. Painted grass green for the Royal Review - it had all gone a horrible brown / scorched colour!
Literally just had to bin a PL assessment at Windermere because of no water in the rivers. That virtually never happens, it’s always the wind (admittedly that wasn’t there either…).
The dry spell is worrying that’s for sure if this is a vision of things to come.
