There is comments on the internet about December and January being the coldest winter in 100 years . Minus 20 C. being the norm. How do you experienced WFP cleaners cope in  such weather as this winter is my first with WFP.

Pretty conclusive, then.
When it gets to -20 I buy more chocolate Hob Nobs, tea, coffee and batteries for the remote control.
It's great.

Joking aside, that's the best attitude.
We'll still have weather when we're all long gone.

Almost every year, there is a story like this one.
It's a bit like those stories that this or that gives you cancer/cures cancer. Newspapers have pages to fill.

I put my thermals, put my hat on, and get on with it. Got an immersion heater and a bag of rock salt for my older customers.
Only been going 9 years mind, just a boy compared to some on here.
As that wise man said earlier, you do what you can, when you can.
I check the forecast but never trust it beyond a day or two cos it always changes.
A manager is generally someone who has been promoted to the position by someone else who didn't see them as a threat.
Hence all people are promoted to the level of their incompetence

Well I am frozen off so far today. Didn't heat the van and the reel, all internal hose, pump frozen solid  :( Guess it serves me right for choosing to not heat it. Got to -3 and the back door is a bit loose as well.

aye it is ruddy cold today, 7 am til 7.30 working away fine tried to collapse pole all sections with a layer of ice and they wouldn't close, finished ground floor trad got hot water and defrosted pole, went onto domestics and same as you water freezing on glass, kept going until 2pm though, hope the frozen ice on the glass melts before the customers notice :o but I doubt it it is colder now
