The Daily Mail reports that teenagers combating a 34°C heatwave have converted a living room into a swimming pool. Commentators note that it could be dangerous move for many reasons:
As well as posts congratulating the boys' creative way of keeping cool in the summer heat, there were others who branded them 'idiots'.
'The water is about half a metre high, which means it is about half a ton for every square metre. I wonder if their neighbours will gather altogether to give them a good lesson?,' one said.
'I hope the electric plugs are way above the water level,' another added, while a third person said: 'I hope they cut their nails really well before going inside...what if they break the film.'
Regardless, the pictures are funnier than the hottub Cadillac.

Cooling off: With temperatures reaching an uncomfortable 36C outside, the unnamed boys used only 'polyethylene film and tape' to transform their carpeted lounge into a swimming pool several feet deep
Best caption. Several feet deep so those kids must be...giants? Later I read @ half a meter which makes more sense. In Ukraine, they can spin with the best of them. I also wondered how they would remove all this water before their parents got home from that rare dinner out. It will be hell to pay when they open the door....oh wait...now I see how they'll drain the living room.
Humans...very creative, very stupid, a mess when put together.
The more things change, the more they look the same
