I put "plan A" into operation last night.

Hose, pump, poles, brushes, all taken out of van - even the tap on my belt was placed under cover.

Easy peasy!

Er - anybody know how to stop the door seals on a "Kangoo" freezing up?

Kit was OK, but I couldn't get into the bl**dy van!

Did a small office block first thing had to buy some roadsalt as the water from the hose wasrunning down the walls & freezing on the path
