itll soon be spring lads(warmer rain!).......

I hope I never have another winter like 2010/11 - if I do I'll take a long had look at retiring. The temperature in my workshop didn't come above freezing for weeks on end.

Everyone is different but I don't work in heavy rain.

If I'm getting wetter than the windows I don't work.

I don't know how you guys work in heavy rain would have thought you'd end up with pneumonia.

Each to their own.

I judge winter off how many times I have to defrost the van in the morning. Last winter it was 3 times. This time I've lost count. It's not question of how many days off, more just horrible conditions to work in. I think we can all agree that winter arrived about 6 months ago and it would be nice for some double digit temps

Dear Winter,

Yesterday was fun. Went sledging for the first time since the kids were small so probably ten years plus. Great laugh then back to a mate's for home made Irish coffee and cake.

Now please go away. Thank you.

I remember trying to clean a block of apartments communal windows in 2010, internals, and the temperature was -18°C on the 12th floor. Gave up after the first window and that was that for another couple of weeks. The fuel cap on the van froze solid and I was sat on the petrol station forecourt shivering and bemused. 

This forum was funny though, full of cleaners arguing and going stir crazy because they’d all been sat at home for weeks on end without earning a penny.

Tbh, I prefer working in the colder months  because there's nothing else I want to do outside.
But when it gets too hot in the summer, I just want to sit  in the garden and have a beer and watch the world go by

I recall BFG (remember him?) - he was nuts at that time.

Yes I do, definately a character.

Me too. Was it Stephen? A Scouser?
But I remember the forum well at that time. Tensions were running high  .
I think I had a full month off (or near enough) and the forum was very busy most of the day.
I enjoyed going to bed not having to get up early in the morning. I miss that.

[Slacky]

Yes. Steve, a scouser. He liked a gamble....

Oh gawd......
