LHR T5 airside is just too hot. All the time. I'm sweating even in the middle of winter! As someone else said, if you're too cold, you can always add a layer. You can't strip naked if you're too hot! Unfortunately, my office is exactly the same

A rubber on the other hand is slang for a condom. We erase with an eraser.

Similarly, avoid "I'll knock you up tomorrow". Instead, say "I'll knock on your door.".
What is a jumper to Americans? It's a dress made to be worn over a blouse, usually with an undefined waistline. Pregnant women and toddler girls with poochy tummies wear jumpers. If a non-pregnant grown woman wears a jumper, she would cinch in the waistline with a belt.
I did a double-take when a visiting British guy said "It's chilly. I'm going back for my jumper."
Then he came back out with a sweater.

They need to fix this. It is not a matter of a few degrees down to personal choice, I took a thermometer with me 2 weeks ago after similar complaints in previous weeks and out of curiosity and measured up to 37C. The toilets were truly like a sauna, not exaggerating, uncomfortably hot.

Comfortable temperature at the moment. Sipping champagne and waiting for my burger :-)
Fairly quiet at this time on a Saturday though. I guess "normal" people are all at home with their family :-(

Yeah, when in the USA say "eraser" rather than "rubber", especially if you are in a business meeting and don't want everyone to start giggling.

Was fine a few days ago. As some have mentioned, this is mainly an issue on cold but sunny days where all that glass must be adding quiet a few degrees. What is odd is the apparent lack of a thermostat. Me gets the impression a member of staff just sets it to high during winter?
