I heard a story once about a guy who was doing those activities with a lady friend in his bedroom. He lived with his parents. They made a bit of a mess on the bedsheets. He was loading the sheets into the washing machine when his mum asked why he was washing them in the middle of the day. His response, “I spilled my Chinese”
Your spilled spaghetti story reminded me of it, so now you get to enjoy the phrase too!
I also live in the UK. The last few years I’ve been tempted to buy a portable AC. Just as I go to spend £300, the weather turns and I decide to spend money on other stuff (like food)
We had that heat wave just after Easter this year, much earlier than I remember, that was the final straw. Bought one on marketplace for £180.
Every night going to bed the sheets are crisp and cool. I sleep like a baby.
The biggest downside? Damn those things are pricey to run

In our house we refer to the slotted spoon as the ‘Jesus spoon’ because it’s holy. My eldest daughter recently said she thought it was because when Jesus was crucified he was holey. I’ve havent thought about it the same way since
