We always work in the snow, just tell your custys if there' any problem with the way their windows look to call us as we have a snow guarantee.

(You'll probably find me on here though for most of the day as I prefer not to when its slightly iffy outside)

Im in hampshire and there's 3 feet of the stuff, just boot your wet-weather gear on. Come on who runs your business you or God?

Well, you know, I have a habit of exaggerating occasionally, we got a bit, little bit, not much, you can still see the grass, little bit white, whitish, a tint of white. I think we might have had some snow, maybe.
