VoxFox - I love the list

And all you Pommies complaining about your weather - it sounds like Sydney - heat, humidity, it's definitely our weather, give it back. It's almost midwinter & we're having unseasonable days of 19 to 23!! what is the world coming to. I'm still wearing autumn/spring clothes - velvet skirt, silk shirt or longsleeved cotton tee shirt with thin fleecy waistcoat & medium fleecy jacket over. In the last 2 days I've seen several young women wearing sleeveless tops & not even carrying jackets.

Speaking of humidity I have a cartoon, drawn in the 1940's with workers straphanging on a nasty humid Sydney summer day. One exhausted woman is gasping & sweating (perspiring or even glowing) amongst a tram load of others doing the same & she's saying "It's not the humidity, it's the humanity"
