If snow has taught me anything it’s that it’s just not worth even bothering until you know you’re route or way in is clear,the main roads mean nothing my main problem is the side roads which can take another couple of days to clear unless the temperature suddenly drops.

I think you need the temperature to rise for a thaw😉

Spend all that money on a diesel heater to keep you working and then not bother to get decent winter tyres on the van, rendering the diesel heater useless. You couldn’t make it up  ;D

Why don’t you defrost the roads with your super dooper diesel heated hot water system. I mean, it’s that bloody good isn’t it?

proof, if any was needed that hot water has virtually no advantages other than keeping the hands warm.  5k plus for warm hands thats an expensive pair of gloves.

⬆️ ✊ it’s all good in the hood boys a diesel heater isn’t going to get you through a foot of snow is it lol,but we all know it cleans better and as soon as the roads are passable work will get done there’s no rush.

How much is it to run an emersion again these days compared to my 2 man diesel  🤣🤣🤣,the thing i like about the emersion idea is that you put it on for so many hours get up in the morning look out and see Father Christmas and realise that was a waste of money last night lol.
As the bloke says that delivered my food last week you doooonnnn rissssssseenn.

Do you ever get mistaken for a hairdresser when you’re driving your TT Quattro?

This is how i measure success .... week off for me . apart from not wanting to look like a desperate tit, I cant be bothered . I work hard all year , so I am having a feet up week until the cold passes.
plenty of weeks in a year to make money. why would i want to struggle this week ?
My tds is very low  so I can fill my tank with piping hot water from my DI filter each morning.
my issue is that I  dont want icy paths after I have cleaned.

all this talk of brushing paths and salting them ???
goodness me . just relax and chill till it passes

I have warned customers about the possibility of the water freezing on paths etc today and last week, the vast majority had a look on their face like they  couldn't care less.
