Excellent advice in general

I was just poking around the BBC News site, reading about the heat wave that's melting pavement in the UK. The "Have Your Say" section solicits readers' answers to the question "How has the weather affected you?"

Best response, by far:

Sit outside on the shaded side of the house with a glass of ale and chat to passers-by.
