I didn't know until today that there are over 5,000,000 adults in the UK who are yet to get their 1st Covid jab. Tune in to BBC2 @ 21:00 hrs on Thursday evening for the gory details.

It was blooming’ hot in Scotland yesterday…at least 1300C

‘ScotRail crippled by heat ‘straight out of the Sahara’

SCOTLAND’S trains ground to a halt yesterday after the heatwave forced blanket speed restrictions of 20mph to stop tracks from melting.’

From the Telegraph.
