Ok, -9c on site today, have invested in some freezer boots for after Xmas - almost guarantees heatwave....will report back if they work, easily accessible and a quick internet trawel suggests fully compliant PPE ones from ?45 [mine rather more, but reputedly comfy down to -28c]
Am absolutely amazed that my crew are (fairly) happily going out of the toasty cabin and attempting the ever-decreasing range of feasible tasks I've been devising for them (digging's out, even the fully insane end of the crew have abandoned that before breaking all the tools), maybe I've been a touch too scathing in the past about the modern breed of diggers.....need to do something about the improvised fashion though..... :face-approve:
