Yep just as bad here in Suffolk. BBC saying more to come today but dying off tomorrow. Problem is even if it stops tonight it will still be in the ground for most the week.
-
yes same here in Norfolk home day today!
-
Yeah not gonna get above 0c for the whole week, not much fun on the roads I’ve heard.
Possibility of a fair amount of snow tonight as well!

We’ve had snow down South obviously it’s not the main roads that are going to be the problem it’s getting to the jobs,as soon as you leave the main road you need you’re 🎿- temperatures all week so it’ll take days to shift.
-
About 0 to 1 degree here in Yorkshire
Light dusting of snow this morning and some light snow showers but suns come out now. Quite a nice day

just strap a 35 ft pole to your roof rack with a spray bar and clear the road ahead of you with your hot water 😄😄😁

Will you be paying your staff for them to be at home today also?
-
Couple of buckets of hot water over the hose reel this morning and I was good to go.
Worked until 2pm until my pole froze and the first section wouldn't move.
Couldn't do 3 jobs that needed a ladder tho as the lock on the ladder had frozen.

Why would you not use your hot system on a day like today?I thought you d splashed out on a 9kw diesel heater?

He's saving it for when it's cold.

I believe he sent it back, health and safety problems due to whiplash.

Hot system or not it’s desperation cleaning windows in these conditions no way on earth I can get to the work I do,take the time off and relax enjoy the snow you might not see it for another 3-4 years.

This is why hot systems are completely pointless and a waste of money.
When its too cold to clean with cold water its also too cold to clean with hot, so whats the point.
-
No m8 they are not the only reason I’m saying I wouldn’t work is because the roads are to dangerous to drive on,if the weathers cold which it normally is in England without snow they come into there own.
I’ve said it before even if someone got one just for the frost stat feature it would be money well spent,that’s without all the other benefits if you don’t agree you’ve never been a Hot user because you wouldn’t want to go back to all these other winter issues hot users don’t have,like I say my vans plugged in I don’t even have to worry about anything freezing all week.
-
Ahh NWH the issue is the outlay for a hot system.
£1000s.
With a cold system you could take a month off a year when there is bad weather and still be quids in
;D

Makes perfect sense to me, pay 4-5k for a frost stat🙈🙈🙈🙈
-
A fellow WCleaner said to me the other day I don’t know why you bother trying to convince people on that forum about hot water and what you can earn down South you are wasting your time,I’m seriously thinking of swapping half my work for 5 rounds of terrace house and cul-se-sac work 🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
It might help if the points you try to make in your desperate attempts to humour us were legible.

Here's an interesting comment....
The way the weather is at the moment Hot water is hardly worth the expense.

Slacky you have to joke around with it m8 because some of it is pathetic window cleaners working for 30 years and still cleaning jobs for a few quid and swearing blind if you don’t your moronic,the few that come on here that are the opposite keep quiet but sometimes I can’t resist.
-
Best regards Darren lol 🤣
-

Darran
-
Yes it did amuse me actually
Best kindest Regards Nigel 🤣🤣💩

Anyway let’s get back to some of this chat about franchising it’s been ages since I’ve read something so amusing on here.

That word right there has your name written all over it😉
-

Anyway franchising - people on here are making it work - that's good for them - isn't that right Nigel
Darran

Nigel, why do you have such a beef with people who SUCCESSFULLY franchise their business or SUCCESSFULLY run a multi van window cleaning company?
-
Thanks Darren
Kind regards Nigel.
-
Nigel, why do you have such a beef with people who SUCCESSFULLY franchise their business or SUCCESSFULLY run a multi van window cleaning company?
Have you ever noticed how all these multi multi van window cleaners offer wonderful advise,the thing they fail to do which is the most Important thing is to mention numbers to the so called up and commers so to speak why is that does one think lol.
I don’t mean to come across as suspicious or anything lol,the same can be said for franchising it’s all wonderful and it’s a great but I can assure you it’s not I’ve hung around outside that place where they film one born every minute and I’ve not had any offers lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
-
“I’ve hung around outside that place where they film”
You’ve hung around outside what place, where they film what? Like I said, you are illegible.

So because they don’t post their numbers on a public forum it can’t be done right ? I didn’t see Dave Morris mention numbers but it didn’t stop you crawling half way up his hoop the other week.....How much staff have you got now Dave blum blum blum, can we meet up for a coffee Dave blum blum blum.
You’re a hypocrite.
Seeing as you’re so hung up on numbers why don’t you post some of yours?
-
Dave is genuine though and his bum doesn’t smell.

Which probably can’t be said for you, on both counts.
-
Decided to have the week off , hot or cold as soon as that water touches the floor its like a skating ring.
-
It's fine here....a light dusting of snow and its forecast to get up to 2 or 3c later...perfectly workable conditions...I heard my frost stat kick in at 730 this morning so I know its working....
Have a great day chaps whether your working or not....👍
-
The freeze ends here on Thursday with 10c by Monday.
Fun while it lasted.
-
Everyone will be moaning next week when it's raining...
Then in a couple of months everyone will be moaning that it's too hot
;D
-

You are the only person who would know that kind of information.
-
There’s no way Dave has a smelly bum it’s impossible the amount of baby powder I’m sprinkling on it on an hourly basis 👶👶
-
one working day left tomorrow then im taking 4 days off.......i much prefer working in this cold,bright weather than the wet,miserable days we ve had far too often this year already! :)
-
Yeah it’s my favourite working weather also Daz trouble is I can’t get to any of mine m8,this morning was gorgeous not a cloud about deep blue sky side roads like skating rinks.
-
Another sledging day tomorrow for me. Still too much snow here for driving to jobs.
-
Im in Norfolk area, still loads of snow around, some side roads like ice rinks, cant work in this weather (dont have hot water) tried to clean my own windows, just froze on the window and sills and proper slippy under foot, looks like no work for another 2 or 3 days. Catching up with planning ahead and accounts so no big deal , we will soon be back at it :)
-
its gonna get up to 9 or 10c next week lads for those that have snow so thatll get rid of it...... :)
-
Managed to get a full day in today but jeepers it was cold this morning. Had some commercial jobs in Southport first thing and the temp was -3 but more like -8 with the windchill. Cold water was fine though, just needed my gloves on all day. 😃
-
I was out at 8.30am in -4 , pole sections were freezing up a bit but water flow was fine, worked all day no probs 8)
-
Us window cleaners moan when we can’t get out for a few days think of the holiday and hotel sector and many others poor sods lol,they ain’t worked for almost a year 🤣🤣 got to get out and clean some windas tomorrow in Arctic 🥶 conditions 🤣🤣🤣
-
Up to 2°c tomorrow in my neck of the woods so no problem.
-
All calming down from tomorrow onwards up above freezing that’ll get rid of it all 👍

Daz, you could just say you’re getting a new car delivered Monday. All those letters after it make you look like you need to brag.
I haven’t got the foggiest idea what they mean.

Basically it's a 2 litre turbo diesel automatic.
Would need to have the the letter R and be petrol to brag, but even then it's only a golf.
-
I thought it might mean it had a hot water system and heated seats.
-
Well done Daz I thought you might have gone for the R this time though
-
Well done Daz I thought you might have gone for the R this time though
never........ the GTD is still fairly quick and great on fuel...the R attracts thieves in their droves.....
this will be the last diesel car ill ever have most probably as most cars will be electric in 3 years time i reckon.....
-

its got heated front seats and heated steering wheel..... ;D

this will be my 3rd golf in a row.....first i had a mark 5 GTI which i loved but it was badly rusted underneath and my mechanic advised to get rid,then the golf GTD 7.5 which i have currently which is nearly as quick as the GTI but MUCH better on fuel.....then the automatic im getting on monday....
what i love about them is i can fit my drums in the boot with ease with the seats down,easy to park in tight spaces and they are nippy little cars!fun to drive and a nice,smart car without being too flashy......
-
How old are you . 23 ?
-
Where are you going to play those drums Daz?
-
How old are you . 23 ?

-
Where are you going to play those drums Daz?
it wont be long before im rehearsing and playing gigs with my band again ...certainly in the summer/autumn anyway....fingers crossed.... ;)

Googled it. Lovely cab. I'm driving around in a 2005 Combo at the moment so that looks very posh.
