Isn't it strange how we are expected to work in any temperature, but they send office workers home if it gets uncomfortable...

It's unbearable mate, the travelling time on the job was 2 hours each way so even leaving at the crack of dawn meant we were there through the hottest part of the day

On holiday in Arizona I got talking to one of their sparks and asked him how they cope. He told me that every now and again they soak their t shirts in cold water and the evaporation of it helps to keep them cool. I tried it and it works a treat, on some sites I'll soak a rag and put it in my hard hat.
Maybe it's just psychological but........

The Lady electricians probably won't agree with that tip.
