Water Tanks empty,
heater on
and go to the pub preferably with a log fire

 

[GrannyJen]

Use it.... not leave it hanging around for the cold to get into ....

Wear something warm to sleep in... even with the amazing heater it's still chilly first thing.

Drive and stop overnight at the pub with the log fire

Use it and change to winter air in tyres

Move the remote for the parking heater from the van to the house.

Sell your house drive to warmer climates and when you spent all your money come back and claim universal credit's and get your kids to look after you for a change

Well if it's in the tabloids it must be true!

So no point in changing to winter tyres then!

Something like my friend added on his trip in Norway?

Well you have got to live through the projected heat wave next week before the Beast arrives. Seems Dorian is pushing warm air our way.

I was thinking in British terms more this size

Please don't say that. I work out doors and worked all the time in the horrible beast from the east v1 last year, it was like torture on my fingers, sooo cold. One project the house owner didn't even ask if I wanted a cup of tea, i was working in the snow for 8 hours solid and it was literally horizontally blowing in my face and then the client short changed me £5 upon payment. They even looked upset when i knocked on the door to say good bye, 'i was just having my tea" im not bitter at all , but still did a very professional job,
and no, i didnt have a flask of coffe, i forgot it .

Met Office has stated in the last couple of days that here's no reason to expect a return of the beast from the east

Mine is always in the house. Quite useless to store it in the van I think.

The local BBC tv weatherman last week said the claim that we were going to have a bad winter was 'cobblers'.
