Hello, 999? Birmingham’s weather today is 63 degrees Celsius. The average range has been between 55 and 75 degrees Celsius for a month now. I’m chuffed to bits about it. I’ve been going out a lot these days — without a jacket and a shirt. I’m calling because there’s a tad bit of concern about whether climate change has something to do with it. If this is the end of the world, can you confirm? Should I put the kettle on? Or is this another sodding heat wave trying desperately to scare us? I fancy a cuppa either way.

Hello, 999? I’m originally from Mali, West Africa. I’m on holiday in Britain. Bro, I dig it here. It’s a lot cooler than my country. You know what I'm saying? Just wondering what’s all the fuss about? Best summer ever!

Hello, 999? It’s a tad warm here. I’m taking my hoodie off. I may exactly look like the serial killer and the most notorious cannibal Peter Bryan who’s just broken out of jail. I swear I’m not the guy you’ve been looking for. Don’t you dare arrest me! I’ll eat you alive — figuratively speaking.

Hello, 999? I’m boiling cheeky eggs on the pavement. Would that be a problem? I’m saving energy, big time. Youse should thank me. I’ll give you a bunch of fives if you stop me.
