Old enough to remember when 25c was hot T-shirt

There was a time when 25°C counted as properly hot in Britain. The sort of day that made the six o’clock news, emptied the supermarket of Soleros, and prompted dads across the country to announce “you wouldn’t want it any hotter than this” while sitting shirtless in a garden chair.

Thirty degrees? That was foreign weather. The sort of reckless temperature you encountered in Spain before retreating to an Irish bar for the afternoon.

How times change.

These days, 30°C barely gets Britain’s attention until the roads start melting, the lawn has achieved the colour and consistency of Weetabix, and the Met Office begins using increasingly alarming shades of red.

This retro-inspired design is for those of us old enough to remember when 25°C was hot, before the British summer quietly upgraded itself from “pleasantly warm with a chance of drizzle” to “please check on elderly relatives and avoid unnecessary travel”.

Perfect for anyone who remembers when a heatwave meant three nice days in July rather than six weeks of wondering whether installing air conditioning might finally be less ridiculous than pretending this is all perfectly normal.

And, of course, for those people who insist climate change is a massive hoax while standing on what used to be their lawn.

Printed in the UK on 100% organic ringspun combed cotton, with free UK delivery and our usual no-quibble returns policy.

Because 25°C used to be hot. And Wagon Wheels were definitely bigger.
