What I don't understand why do cleaners go out when there is snow or ice one the floor if you are wfp as you are leaving water behind that will be a hazard

snow or ice is water      THINK about it,also as long as its not on the doorstep then its not an issue,customers may walk to the shop and slip on ice or snow,whos to blame then?

Well I worked Tuesday/Weds and today. About 4/5 hours a day.

I thought I would work and that if a custy said not today cuz of the ice then I would take the hit as the weather has been pretty acute.

D'you know? ... not one custy said "not today" - in fact this morning I was on top of a hill in Gloucestershire, dragging warm hose through about three inches of snow in this custy's back garden in glorious sunshine looking over the Severn and I thought "this is the best job in the world - dressed for the weather, glowing warm in the sun, fresh air and I'm getting paid good money ... "

Luvly!

that ski jacket will be too hot to wear in the summer when its raining to keep you dry!!

Yeh, i'l have to bite the bullet and get something water proof for spring summer.

What's your gortex jacket Daz? name/make any links.

Sports direct is great for workwear. Use to like englebert strauss, their stuff's top draw but pricey it does last though.

Yep weather is warming up saturday  ;)
