I’m not sure why the January flood and cold snap always manages to take us by surprise. It’s been like this for the last ten years. Disappointingly mild Christmas, then we hit the New Year and the heavens fall while the mercury goes through the floor.

Now is not the time to lowball the customer base, right?

They’re open, despite the duck pond in the car park, and could really use the business.
