Can we all say where we live?

[Brow]

I live about 12miles outside of Nottingham, Nottinghamshire.

[Toe-Knee]

I hate being sweaty and I've found that being out in the heat causes can cause me to have a hypo too which is NEVER fun.

I didn't realise that could happen.  Never experienced it, but can't be good! 

At first I thought it was just the heat that was getting to me due to the excessive sweating, headaches and dizziness then when I got in I checked my BS and it was just over 2.5.

After this I thought I could have messed up on my insulin dosage calculations so I monitored it the next time it got really hot and it gradually reduced over time resulting in the same thing.

I contacted my diabetes advisor and she said it does affect some people in this way but it's very rare and it's due to my metabolism raising considerably in hot conditions which depletes my bodies glucose stores.

So yeah I used to dislike hot weather.... now I HATE it!

Now back onto topic. It would be good if we could set up like user groups for locales for people to add themselves into.

I'm not sure whether it's possible on SMF though.

I'm nearly sure i used to have it in my profile, but then there must have been a forum upgrade or something and it disappeared?

I'll put it back in :)

EDIT: yeah i still have "Northern Ireland" as my location, except now it doesn't show up under my avatar. I entered it in my personal text, but it looks a bit weird there, i might remove it again. :lol:

Shall we mention it here as well as our profiles?

It always been on my profile FWIW  - and it's where it has to be IMHO to be usefull (sorry, I won't browse the whole forum to find out where someone lives when answering a post <g>)

Woking, surrey

i have to agree with Philly, dressing smart for work and walking for a couple of miles in 30 degree heat isnt fun

Kettering, Northamptonshire.

I'd much rather live ANYWHERE else though.

Corby?

I did a contract job in Kettering for a few weeks. I nearly went out of my mind with boredom, stuck in a hotel in the middle of town every evening.

Not really a reflection on Kettering, sitting in a hotel in any small town is enough to drive anyone to drink. I can see why bands enjoy trashing hotel rooms.

you could come here... apparently we have the dubious pleasure of getting the brunt of the record-breakingly cr@ptacular weather when the jet stream moved south, and are still getting it now it's moved north again.

don't get me wrong... it's horrible when it's too hot. But it's a heck of a lot better than this. :lol:















it's actually vaguely decent today, of course. but it's still cloudy and humid and pretty horrible.

Forest Hill, South East London - I wish there was more forest though, as it is 30c (according to the Weather Aware google chrome extension) - 10 too much for me!

[Philly Q]

Sorry to persist with this off-topicness, but it's heartening to see there are other people around who don't like hot weather.
