Is there any upper limit on office working temperature. It is 27.5c in the office (with a couple of reptile bastards complaining that its cold), everyone else is sitting baked. Im fed up with this put up and shut up bullshit.

Then complain for f**k sake ::)
I think in winter the Temperature is not supposed to be over 25.5
As far as I know there is no Maximum temperature that an office can be only a minimum. So as long as your office is not below 16ºC. However I do think there is something about "reasonable" temperatures and a work place has to provide fans etc. if it is too hot.
Tell them to put a F**kin coat on
The 2005 health and safety at ework act states min.17 degrees, and it should be comfortable after that the temp. should be comfortable for all.

Some one tried to sell me that bull before . Approach it from a business POV, lowering cost and carbon footprint.

Open a window and tell them to f**k off,
21 +/- 5 is pretty standard all year but obviously if you have a decent a/c system it should vary much from 20ish.
There is def a temp around 30 degrees that you cannot work in and under Health & Safety you must be allowed home as it happened me a few years ago when i worked in a real modern building with a full glass facade but they spent that much on the building they couldn't afford air conditioning and what happens when the sun hit's the glass...the f**king building basicially became a "Green house". It was 33 degrees in it one summers day and we were sent home...everyone was fecked anyway from the heat and couldn't do any work

The windows are all straight up and down. To create a draught id need a 10ft run up and a heavy chair
Offices must be at least 16 degrees within an hour of work commencing. Unfortunately whoever wrote the law was so stupid as not to put a maximum tempeature so employers are NOT obligated to provide air-conditioning.
Law needs to be revised. I used to work in a office with a part glass roof and it would regularly hit 30 plus.
Get real
