# You're too good.
Minor TJ: does anyone know if there's a law about how hot it can be in an office? 27.5 degrees C here, and I feel like I'm melting.

Since you haven't seen me I would say it is the heat, do they still have the heating on in your office or is it an isolated spot of global warming caused by a subspace anomoly?

Also, hello sweaty betty.

Edit: hmm
4. No maximum temperature is set in regulation because:
- this would be prescriptive and would limit the discretion of both duty holders and enforcers. Most modern health and safety law is goal-setting - setting out what must be achieved, not how it must be done. This approach enables HSE and Local Authority inspectors to use discretion and to make sensible judgements about the extent of risks and the efforts made to counter them;
- many workplaces have extreme temperatures because of the nature of the industry and the processes involved e.g. cast metal, catering and food processing; or because of the nature of the work activity, e.g. physically demanding work; and
- being reasonably comfortable in an indoor workplace is not a question of air temperature alone. Other issues to be considered include environmental factors and those which affect individuals, such as their age, sex and state of health. Sometimes the best that employers may be able to achieve is a thermal environment which will satisfy the majority of those working in that environment.

# I've seen a few films where women get all hot and then they combat the temperature by removing all of their clothes and getting someone to stick their penis in their vagina or anus.
I don't think I'd recommend it though. If anything, they seem to just get sweatier, and before long, they have what looks like snot all over their face. Surely there must be a better solution.
