Misapprehension!
UK heat is totally different to most US heat.

UK heat is like Northern Florida/Southern Georgia in the summer.

Even though the temperature isn't numerically high it WEIGHS A TON. It settles on your neck and shoulders and pushes you into the ground.

I was strolling around Alberquerque last year in 38 quite comfortably because it's dry.

I'm making assumptions - where are you?

nah Kristine, TD speaks only truths, i personally vouch for his character.
it's the humidity, or should that be dampness that's the killer here. all that water on top of you.

Yes, not a problem.
It's semi-arid - there's very little humidity and I'm a very hardy little chap.

Virginia is roll-through country to me. I've spent a day and night in Ashland, a few hours in Newport News and that's about it.

Spent far more time in the seccestional child, West Virginia.

I'd tell you to have a longer visit but I've no idea where you would go
let's be honest here, Virginia is boring

I drew that conclusion myself!
My Ashland time was OK until the sun went down and everyone went to sleep.

I spent an hour trying to find a bar - any bar - in Newport News.

LAME
they've closed all the bars around here, we go to west virginia now, the most hopping place is T.G.I. Fridays.

Oh Dear.
TGI Fridays is the preferred haunt of the immediately post-pubescent around here. I expect you'd find some daytime O/T contributors in there, with notes from their mums...

Some of us must get up in 6 hours for work so - bedtime.

Night, folks.
