Which oil filled radiator is suitable . 500 watt , 1500 or 2000. Never used one before . So no idea . I presume you just leave it on a low setting all night ?

I would go for a mid range one with a sensitive thermostat on it .

Or a fan heater.

The sensitive thermostat is the important thing.

Also a timer.
cheers old timer . Thing is , I have 2 small fan heaters . But I am paranoid about leaving them all night . Woukdnt be able to sleep . I cover the pump and reel with a sleeping bag . Works most of the time . Then in the morning put the fan Heaters in the back pointing at the pump . Usually everything is fine . The wife says im definitely not leaving any kind of Heater on all night in the back of the van . She’s scared it will set on fire . So that’s that . I’ve managed all week . The 2 nano trolleys have earned there money this week . Like she says it’s usually only a couple of weeks a year we get this crap .

I'd be paranoid about having fan heaters in the back of my van. I usually use an oil filled radiator (tried greenhouse heater this week). Moisture dripping off the roof of my van onto the electric parts are my worst fear. I never sleep well when I've got a heater on in the back. The crap weather has come a bit early this year though. Poles come inside or stay in the cab and thaw on the way to work.

Thank Fook it's the weekend 💪

Also just invest in an RCD safety extension lead and plug for the heater.  So there is nothing to worry about if something goes wrong with the heater.   We are in a world with outdoor sockets and charging stations these days which cope with all weather conditions.

Isn’t a one man band by definition a sole trader?

No , a sole trader can have as many employees as they like , my mrs has about 17 employess as a sole trader partnership.

Can you have a sole trader partnership?

You can 100% be a sole trader and employ people. "Sole trader" is just a type of business. As is "Partnership".



Could be wrong like, I'm not an accountant and neither is Google.

Getting stuck in and working much faster for ten minutes soon warms you up.

Two pairs of socks and wellies on icy/wet grass yesterday on my first job (one hour) starting at daybreak - large barn conversion in a field.


But then ... I'm 65.

The heated socks are great for wellies and you can still feel your toes. 😉

Young'uns today.  ;D
