which you wouldn't have if your priest hasn't written it on the back of one of your holy crumpets after a lengthy confession,
the rest of the world is experiencing an extensive and devastating heat wave. Setting records on the 50,000-year scale.

Don't be too concerned. In a few months we're going to give it back. All of it. Plus a lot.
