Odd thing about Nanny. There's a stipulated Min of 60F on the shop floor and 62F in the offices. But nothing on Max.

I don't know if it's me, but I distinctly remember temps at this level when I was working in the UK and leaving the air con building mid day to be hit by a wall of heat as I walked outside. Yet, I don't remember anything on the news about "Temperatures SOARING?!?! to 30 degrees."

Perhaps they have done their sums (guarantee they have) and worked out that all this "advertising" is much cheaper than the cost to the NHS of looking after heat stroke/Sun burn or God forbid, skin cancer patients.

Wonder how long it will be before social welfare claiments get sun cream for free?
