Ha!

Funnily enough we do! Complete with thermal lining. Courtesy of Mummy 944  :y.   I would swear they work better than the ordinary UPVC double glazing that was in my first house.

Our place underwent a substantial and horrendous makeover in the 80’s, so we were determined to restore what was left and put it back how it should have been. So ripping out the wooden sashes wasn’t an option. So mostly, I just installed spme fuŁk-off enormous radiators!

I can well remember thick frost on the insides of the sash windows in the mornings,in my old Victorian house, before we had the central heating put in.
Those were the days.  :D

As a child I did a brief stint at a boarding school that was like that. One of my abiding memories was waking early (and freezing). Drawing a cock n balls in the frost on the window pane then getting back into bed and pretending to be asleep when the teacher came to wake us up.

In hindsight, the fact that those, along with my own, were the only genitalia I saw whilst at boarding school means I can count myself rather lucky.  :-X

Weather has been awful here this morning, blizzard conditions. Seems to have cleared for the moment. Both our cars are filthy again.

Fortunately you have enough money to pay the 'illegals' to give them a good once over.

Us poor people do it ourselves. :-\

You've certainly got the space. I couldn't do mine in the miniscule gap I occupy on the street outside.  :'(

I washed the 190 at work last night just before it got dark. :)
The Omega got the full works a few days ago, including hot soapy water from the Karcher on the underside & arches to wash away the salt.

Er......shouldn't you be working at work rather than washing your car?. ;D

Sounds like a cushy number to me. ;)

We had a blizzard earlier and it started to settle on the road and roofs, so I nipped out for a quick spot of panic buying!  ;D

It's stopped now and anything that did settle has already gone.  :y
