I only been in a van this year, was always on foot before, most rounds are a bit of van, a bt of walking, is weird round here as very rural...
snow is sweet, still in shorts, you stay warm enough cos you constantly on the move..i rarely wore a jacket in winter even on walks..
I'm not looking forward to the snow in a van though if I on very rural/moor duty, I got stcuk on ice sideways on a track last year , and it was a mild winter, fuck knows how the vans will cope in a bad winter, my van gets fucked every 3-4 weeks or so at the moment, suspension ragged, exhaust hangin off, all the old farm tracks so rutted up, and i drive sideways and wheels spinning whenever possible.....
I dunno why they don't get me a big 4x4 or better stilll a proper Bigfoot monster truck, would be more economical in the long run...and i could get dressed up like dog The Bounty Hunter or something
EDIT>>>>just to stay on topic I'm drinking more fucking westons....fucking nice buzz going here... %)
