tatsblisters 10,933 Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Since loosing 3 stone in weight the last 12 months the heat has not bothered me as much as it used to at work. Heard a few of the younger lads in the warehouse complaining about it i thought ffs you don't know your born when like me if you have worked scaffolding and hod carrying in hot weather working in a fast paced warehouse is a fekin boat ride compared to them job's. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some people just naturally handle heat better Tats,humidity is worse than just heat alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get me wrong mate i have felt drained myself this last week and with being fair skinned bordering on ginger I burn like a smackheads spoon in the sun and never venture out in it without an hat.

gnipper 6,759 Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 I could do with losing a bit of weight but even when I was a little skinny kid I got too hot easily, my mums the same and it's been passed on to my younger kids. My dad could just sit in the sun and go brown but that gene skipped me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
