Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond (12th July)

12/07/2025 by Kevincm Leave a Comment

We’re enjoying another heatwave in the United Kingdom again, where being sweaty is a way of life now.

Through the sweat, it’s still Saturday, so it must be time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond 

West Kirby Beach

Life is a beach sometimes – West Kirby Beach, Wirral

Next Week

With the hot weather due to persist until at least Tuesday, a lot of us will be finding shade, or at least a fan to try and cool in stagnant air (unless a breeze is found).

We’ll try to keep the show on the road, as schools in the UK are also beginning to pack up (as it’s near the end of the academic year), with our usual mix of news, views and anything else that comes to mind over the hot times.

Until then, stay cool.
