We had some new oven shells delivered last week. These are large metal boxes maybe 10 feet tall, 10 feet wide and 8 feet deep. They come from Taiwan packed in wooden crates and wrapped, inside the crate, within metal/plastic foil.
So today they were uncrating one of em. Being that large one of the guys, a Mexican, was standing on the top helping to prise the sides of the aforesaid wooden crate apart. Today it was about 110°F and bright sunshine. Standing up there on top with the metal/plastic foil in place it must have been considerably warmer. So out I came for a smoke, lurking in the shade beside the building. The Mexican guy spots me.
'Hey mate, it's bloody hot up here' he said, in a very credible imitation of my accent. Geeze, now even the Mexicans are making fun of me :-)
