City slogans and climate change
In recent months, the tedium of the Gibbet Hill traffic queues reduces one to reading the banners fluttering from lamp-posts proclaiming that "Coventry is the hottest place to be this year". This year Leamington was quite hot enough, thank you very much; the nights were oppressively sticky and restless in our sultry top-floor bedrooms.
"Summer of Cov" states another suggestive slogan. Does anyone really call it Cuventry any more? Coventry may be trying harder, but Glasgow was miles better.
Not very well thought out, those 'Summer of Cov' banners – the text on them was diagonal, so it normally reads 'Summer o' or 'r of Cov'. They also look a bit cheap to me.
