As said Rich, night heater was going a good'n, warmer than at home but still have all the comforts. Freeview, internet, music, fridge etc. Many firms where you park up let you use the showers etc. Night out money is tax free. I f did 2 or 3 a week that would pay each months mortgage. Sometimes you're a bit tired /fed up & don't want to drive home, just park up, draw the curtains & chill! :y

I parked up last night just off the M74..Woke up to -13 this morning.. Not in the truck i add as that was boiling with the night heater going.. Took me 3 hours to do the 35 miles to Glasgow.. I am now parked up near West Bromwich..An eventful day but on my way back to the yard for the next mission.. :y

You lads & lasses are keeping the Country going practically all on your own as I see it  :y
If you all threw in the towel when the going got tough it wouldn't take more than 48 hours for the Country to be in absolute chaos! So can I just say a big Thankyou & Bloody Well Done for all your efforts  :y :y :y :y
