I was visiting London in ‘97 during a heat wave (31 C, 88 F) It actually caused Blackpool Tower to raise an inch. Its metal-work had expended to 518’10”.

Are you trying to tell me that the British built some tower in '97 to commemorate your arrival, and then, because you where there during the tower's construction, the metal framework expanded some 1" and that the whole region experienced a heatwave due to the expansion of joints and materials (all as a result of your presence)? I find that a little far fetched to say the least.
