The UK has seen its warmest day this year. Temperatures of up to 12C had Britons outside their homes, offices and indoor shopping centres for, in many cases, the first time in years.
It wasn't all good news though: many elderly Britons suffered heat exhaustion from the unusually warm rain that fell throughout the day. And some of the most puritanical Britons ran panicked in the streets, claiming that the 'ungodly temperature of 12C' heralded the apocalypse, as only the devil could cause it to become that warm.
However most of the population made the best of blistering 12C. Across the country people enjoyed the traditional British summer sports of cricket, beer drinking, public urination and fighting*.
*Fighting is, of course, an all year round sport in Britain. But in the summer, it involves much sunburn slapping.
