''Most of the young these days tend to be 'Snowflakes' and therefore start melting when the temperature gets to about 25C!!!!''

interesting that the Aussie infantry regulars thought the same thing about the 'choccos' in WW2 -

and, they were just plain wrong

you are living proof that we don't learn much, no matter if we've got history staring us in the face

humans haven't changed in nature at all -------------- they adapt to their conditions -

but, in the end, if you change conditions - then nature takes over


that people/society are now thinking about setting controls to stop crowds going out in very hot or very cold weather is pretty smart -------- as opposed to allowing brainless mobs to expose themselves to dangerous conditions

after all - we have the saying 'only Englishmen and mad dogs go out in the midday sun'

there's a hell of a lot of truth in that
