now, i don't study geography, but these pictures of the UK show the extreme heat in England. the swealtering temperatures in wales, and the blisteringly hot air in ireland. they even show the rather seasonal sunshine in both germany and france. where, however, is Scotland on these pictures? last time i checked we were still a fully paid-up member of the UK, or has our subscription been canceled

I thought it was cloudy there at the moment. If so, I guess it wouldn't be part of the "heat wave"

Part of Scotland can be seen in pics 3 and 4. Ever think that perhaps these are the only parts of Scotland that are hot at the moment?

i don't think i've seen a cloud all day! and yes, i have been out of the house...

it may not be as hot as the rest of the UK, but it is still rather un-chilly here and so, in our eyes, it is a heat wave.

freddie-the whole of Spain is shown in those pictures! fom what i can see (which isn't much), scotland looks hotter than spain...

Or the only parts anyone cares about.

So who's going to make the first (bad) joke about Scots being "fully paid up"?

Well write to them then. I used to work for them and they are very accommodating.

Scotland liked them so much in the world cup, Tony Blair has sold Scotland off to Trinidad & Tobago.

I'm sure Scotland will be included the first time you have sweltering temperatures.

if they included the cooler parts of Scotland, it would undermine the Worldwide Global Warming Conspiracy.
