Posted on 14/01/2018 10:24 byIt might be better to do a card payment, Metheven, either online or on the phone. Then you won't have to stand at the door in the cold fiddling about with change and the chance that your food is getting cold whilst this delay is going on! I find my job is much easier and quicker when the shop takes the payment from the customer by card. Fiddling about with change at the door takes time and slows down the delivery service.

Posted on 14/01/2018 10:32 by OneputtJust can't imagine paying to have a pizza delivered when I can get one from the freezer and pop it in the oven, then have a scoop while waiting.

I doubt that you were at North Ledaig in mid winter Malc.
My outfits over the last 12 years have generally been around 5.4m internal 7m shipping and so, yes, shorter than yours. I know that when I had blown air up until 6 years ago I found it difficult to regulate and would run on 1kw overnight less I wake up in a sweat in mid December. When I had a problem with the fluid mix on the previous Alde I had to use 1kw during our two week December break as the system was kettling on 2kw. Tose were temperatures down to freezing. If it had been -14C as on one winter then I would doubtless have needed to use 2 kw and boiled water for a brew on gas. Also knock it down to 1 kw at meal times but then cooking would have replaced the lost heat.

Sometimes we order a takeaway pizza, sometimes we cook a bought pizza, sometimes we make our own from scratch.
Also on the EHU point, we sometimes use sites with only a 10 amp supply because the site is where we want to be, like many we also have gas on board and are not afraid of using it if we need to, even in winter .....
I don't believe we are that unusual.
