I'd take electric windows. Or doors that opened. Or a van that isn't completely filthy...

I agree we have had enough rain for a while now. Not that far off Autumn now so we need some decent weather before we start thinking about winter again.
On the other hand the temperature in my van reached 27 degrees celsius today so how high will it reach on Saturday.

Fat lads sweat too, just to be PC......oh, and thin lads and lasses just to be extra PC. Actually, profuse sweating can be a condition in itself for some people so best not go there either. Just to be extra extra PC

It’s possible but it means wearing a large parasol on your head

taking breaks when out on delivery?

what if your office has agreed with the union that breaks are to be taken before you leave?

Common sense, if you're dehydrated or tired then take a few minutes to recover.

Haha

She would say that, probably found you too irresistible to be let out the house and got a little jealous. I purely stopped wearing mine as there's not 'mushroom' for all the summer lapsing.........
