@cnn: As a record breaking heatwave hits the UK, we went on the hunt of an elusive AC unit, something which only 10% of UK homes had. Here’s how it went…
I'm in America, I could have an AC delivered to my house overnight with Amazon prime

Europe seems to have unbearable heat waves every year now. Why are people waiting until summer to buy an AC unit?

They realize this every single summer. I don’t feel bad for you. Put some AC in over the winter when there’s no demand.

The fact that these heatwaves are nothing new and still people are completely unprepared. I bought my ac unit back in 2019 and have been using it every single year.

In my Facebook memories from living in London 17 years ago. It’s been hot every single year since then. Buy the freaking ac. If you can’t find one now buy it in the wall when it’s half the price and your next summer self will thank you

JKJack987 :
why are you guys waiting for the summer to buy AC, KNOWING that every summer is going to be HOT and that the supply for AC Units and fans would be low?

Americans in the comments like GOD we KNOW you have AC. Houses here do not often come with it, they are expensive and evidently not widely available. Yes we could have gotten it before but there are 5 days a year like this (will probably get worse don’t get me wrong). There is no where to escape the heat it is horrific please don’t kick us while we’re down 😭😭🙏🙏 (would like to add I lived in America for 4 years and loved ac and would love to have it here but it’s NOT THAT EASY)

The time to buy AC is during the winter, they are cheaper and more availble. Make it your family Christmas present this year.
