K and I were in the Turkish Steam Room when two numpties turned up, opened the door to check there was space (fair enough, it was busy), then left the door open whilst they sorted out their robes and towels (this took some time), before coming in and literally squealing 'Oh GOD! Too hot! too hot!' before pressing what they thought was the light switch* then running out.

K and I looked at each other.

"Well, it's not hot any more..."

Seriously, if you go into a steam room, open the door, go in, then CLOSE THE DOOR.



* no, that'd be the emergency ZOMG TROUBLE!!11! button which causes the staff to come over and check no-one has died.

Why on earth would they be hitting the light switch while you were still in there anyway?

ah. The rooms are fairly dark, lit only by little LED lights in the ceiling. To be fair, I think she was trying to turn the lights *on*.

By pressing the large red PANIC button.

you use numptie up your way too? I thought it was just a Barnsley term. Never heard it this far south

numptie exists at least as far down as Derby.
However I have heard Sir Terry of Wogan use it so I believe it is gaining widespread appeal

Fancy a steam room being hot, how odd.
Surely a nice sensible 19 degrees would be better, otherwise people might get, y'know, all sweaty ;-)

On a semi related note flicking through the new Argos catalogue (Which incidentally is proof positive I am turning into my parents) They sell 2 saunas. One is a solid permanent type shower stall thing. The other being some sort of collapsible silver monstrosity that I couldn't use without dying of shame and embarrassment should anyone see me with it
