DURING very hot weather, we are all looking for ways to cool down.

I was once given this tip: run your cold tap until the water is really cool, then hold the insides of both wrists under the tap and you actually feel your body cooling down.

Maybe other readers would like to pass on some good tips.

Thank you for a great newspaper, with all its improvements.
