It's hot. Might be too hot. Summer has hit Britain and our society is currently in the early stages of a complete breakdown.

Supermarket shelves are empty of sun cream, disposable barbecues and four-packs of Stella. Absences due to sunstroke cost the British economy upwards of £700 million. Everything in your house smells like hot plastic. You need to get out. You need to cool off. Grab a pair of these shorts and leap into the nearest body of water you can find.
