As an American who has lived in London/the UK for the last 6 years I'm convinced UK people just hate being comfortable and hate convenience. You have BEEN getting heatwaves at least the last 6 years. After the first 3 years of heatwaves you should have gotten a small air con unit for at least just your bedroom. Buying it in the winter would also have made it much less expensive. "But it's only for a few weeks!!" So you won't get an AC window unit to use for a couple days and would rather constantly complain about it??? "But it's expensive!!" You say UK houses retain heat (Which is always hilarious to me because in the winter, as soon as the heating goes off, the houses are ice cold), but you never talk about how SMALL a UK house is. Using it even just at night for comfortable sleeping for the small handful of days you say you would need it just won't break the bank like you're making it seem. You get one small air con unit off Amazon for £200. You can wheel it to whatever room you need it in, or just keep it in your bedroom and only use it then. But whatever, keep wrapping your wet blankets or whatever you do around your necks. You're allowed to be upset people don't understand your weather and why it's so detrimental. You can, and should, be upset about global warming. But not doing anything about it for yourself is so aggravating.

british people be like “our houses are built to retain heat” then you look and it never goes below freezing there so like why tf yall building em like that

bro sets the thermostat to WHAT in the summer??????????
