God Angela 50f would kill me. We had a lovely villa one year in The Algarve and Dorothy used to moan like hell every night when I put the air conditioning on because it made such a racket. Then another year we were in Turkey on our way to Pam... something where the hot springs are and we had to overnight in a industrial inland town. It was so hot that I rang reception and asked for one of the big fans I'd seen in the lobby. They protested that they only had two, I rejoined I only want one. A bell boy brought one up. When my daughter came into our room streaming she said good grief how did you get that I might stay in here all night.
