I’ve seen clips of his show but you noticed that I didn’t fall into your

So I accept you apology in advance.

75 F is hot for most of us Brits but since I've worked in the subtropics 
anything over 90 F is too hot for my comfort. I did find 104 F was 
tolerable if I moved slowly and kept out of the sun. And I onced worked 
for half an hour at a time at 210 F when I was offshore.

the desert?
