Winter top tips?

[rik_uk3]

If you travel away from home keep a brew kit in your car, instant coffee etc and take a flask of hot water with you. If you get stuck/held up you can make a hot drink and if the journey is uneventful the only waste is a litre of hot water.

Considering the state of the economy Ian, and the number of people I know who have been put on a 3 day week, I would suggest making sure there is always someone who you know is next in line for the axe before you are :yikes:, but thats probably not the kind of thing you were after?

Don't I know it Dave, after being the victim of project elbow after 23 years and being replaced with a younger,cheaper model. I would suggest 3-4 other people between you and the door. Still karma will come

If you have no gloves, keep your hands as fists, they will not go cold so fast.

Taste the yellow snow just in case. It might be beer.

-Always make sure you have enough antifreeze in your vehicle.
-If you are stranded, have the means to get noticed. A bright red flag, or beacon is best.
-Always check things like tyres, water, fuel. before you travel.
-Have the means to stay warm other than using the cars heaters A good jacket, a blanket, hot water in a flask, are all excellent ideas, and taken only moments to prepare.
-Have a means of letting someone know your stuck if it happens
-Have Identification, and emergency contact information on your person ( i carry a small card which details my Doctor name and practice address, my blood group, and notification of any allergies to medicines, and Next of kin details)

One for the car, Put a old bed sheet over the front and back windows of your car each night so it wont frost over.
