I know, so do I. Feels horrible doesn't it.

Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.

It’s not a nice feeling, I hope today gets better for us both!!
No, I last tried one a few years ago in an SUV. I had previously driven a diesel car in the mid 80s and that was the worst car I have ever driven. And then another one in the mid 90s, which was quite a bit better. The modern one was completely different and I was extremely impressed. It was much smoother and quieter and there was so much torque that you barely needed to change gear. It would go up steep hills in fourth. But it just didn't suit the way I like to drive and I didn't find it fun or enjoyable. I wasn't trying to start a ruckus when I made that comment. It was just a throw away remark.
Oh Notchy - you're so full of dangerous liberal nonsense. The segregation is actually for our protection. Ask youself, which are the most dangerous areas in any US city?
For example, when I went to Beale St in Memphis, the trams run along the top of the road on Main St. We were advised that if taking the tram, you're safe to go right (isn't that always the case), but it's too risky to go down to the left. Guess which direction the hood is?
You need to get out and see the world for what it really is for yourself, rather than parroting bilge that you've read in The Guardian.
American segregation separates the poor from the rich
poverty is what drives crime, not race
I am sorry you are so narrow minded, your problem not mine
Dense-o posts a link to debunking using heat from engines as the reason, when I said that is NOT what I am referring to - no mention of heat islands in that debunking piece totally ignores the reason I am saying.Here's how people are being conned for you --- google the hottest recorded temp in the UK -- what does it say -- Coningsby- right, Coningsby this Coningsby that but what they fail to mention is exactly where in Coningsby.
Its RAF Coningsby home to two frontline, combat-ready squadrons and is the training station for Typhoon pilots. Not saying its heat from engines before the professional debunkers start, but the acres of tarmac and concrete absorbing heat causing temperatures to build up, heat islands.
Take a look it says Coningsby but they miss out the RAF bit its stuff like that I am refering to when i say its a big con, that feels like a scam.
Record high temperatures verified
The UK’s new record-high temperature of 40.3°C at Coningsby, Lincolnshire, has been confirmed by the Met Office, following a rigorous process of analysis and quality control.www.metoffice.gov.uk

Anyone who’s driven a modern diesel knows they aren’t loud smelly machines. So you comment seemed to be troll like.

Ad hom noted.
At RAF Coningsby, though, there seems to be a relatively small amount of concrete and tarmac compared with what you would find in a city. The effect might be negligible.
The other point is that, even if a heat effect exists at the base, it would not affect the ongoing monitoring of changes in temperature, because any bias effect will have been built into the measurements over several decades.

If RAF Coningsby suffers from "heat island" and had a temp of 40.3 deg why did St James Park register a temperature virtually the same at 40.2deg?
and given the RAF Coningsby weather station has been measuring temps there since 1961, are you claiming the 40.3 recorded was a result of "heat island" but all the previous lower temps werent affected by it?
they all sound like tractors to a degree, although with modern insulation you would hardly know from inside
a diesel engine is more complex with expensive parts that can go wrong: dual mass flywheel, DPF, turbo, injectors
mind you dont get me started on wet belts which are no petrol and diesel engines
Yep more eco BS they were deemed more eco friendly along with low friction piston rings -- that then start to burn oil after 2 or 3 years - feel scammed yet.
Oh this is a good one -- Notch tries to debunk -- using a screenshot from a website dedicated to climate scepticism and fighting climate lies .
Have a look here where notch got his picture from

I think that's the website where I found the article where they ringed the location of the weather station at RAF Coningsby.
Aveatry you haven’t explained why you think “heat islands” are relevant to Consinsby, given that the weather station has recorded the temperature with the same claimed “heat island” effect but temps have been steadily increasing.Oh this is a good one -- Notch tries to debunk -- using a screenshot from a website dedicated to climate scepticism and fighting the climate lies.

Thank you for brining a brilliant source of information to my attention.
Nor have you addressed the fact that other weather stations recorded very similar temps on 19th July 2022
