about an hour behind now. I broke a hoselock in half this morning losing my rag with frozen tap, my own fault.  Nearly broke foot kicking a barrel straight after (that was frozen solid)  ::)

I voted no,.. then remembered,..

The first day it froze the sliding door on the side of my van froze shut. I tugged the handle a bit too hard trying to open it and broke the handle off!

Pump gave up today. Only had it since June(ionics). The Shurflo in the other van is fine though. Someone drove round the corner today and slid into my van,reversed back then did the same. Then drove off. I only knew because my neighbour told me. Might have to put a stinger across the road tonight and just hope its only them that drive past in the morning! ;D
