Was a first for us. we carry 3 cassettes. When full they are stored in an outside drawer until we can empty. Big mistake. it took forever to get the drawer open as it was frozen solid. And the contents of the cassettes were in the same state ! they took 2 days to thaw out in the garage before we could empty them. The dogs were not happy as we borrowed their beds to lie in the ice under the bus to try to get the blasted door open !

You could have just gathered some sticks and lit a fire to thaw things out. Clearly not a Girl Guide.

Couldn't you have just cut the tops off the cassettes and lifted the frozen cubes out for further study and photographing. Leave them somewhere very public to defrost and you could probably claim an Arts Council grant too. I suggest Turds in Winter for the title of the piece.

I don't think photos would do the scenario justice. It paints a wonderful picture in the imagination. Surely this will be a long running thread, perhaps one of the longest. It is meat and drink to the warped membership on here.
Thanks for sharing the situation. Can't see Disney doing a version of 'Frozen' for motorhomers, although the song 'let it go' might be appropriate.

Hey tuggie, I hope you were not suggesting they toast turds on a stick round a camp fire. English motorhomers are regarded as weird enough without you pushing the boundaries of barbecuing.

I just don't believe this story, because with the amount of alcohol you drink the contents never would have frozen Signed: 'Conspirator Lush'

Doh, I was merely suggesting Sarah lit a small fire under the MH to thaw out her drawers. That's all.
As for the frozen cassette contents, I hope that Tracy Emin isn't a lurker on here, or it'll be in the bloomin' Tate.

Why is it that I just knew you lot would find it amusing :-) I did not take photos...the posh germans next door may have worried too much.
And our drawers are now nicely thawed.

Jamais ! himself wants to know why someone hasnt invented a heated cassette. Bit like a heated loo seat but different... I am sure that your cassette locker has a radiator in it (like my Burstner). It appears to me that you have been victims of your own tardiness and bad forward planning. Your Husband needs to take a course of 'British Efficiency'. If he does, you will never suffer with Frozen Poo Syndrome again.

Surely souvenirs of the whole extraordinary experience is the way to go? You could make yourself quite a lot of money this way.
So, "Souvenirs of the Great Bog Freeze" - I'd suggest carefully breaking off chunks (like Toblerone) and selling each chunk for, say, £9.99?
I'd certainly buy one. I mean, who wouldn't want a reminder of such a stupendous occurrence? I know I would.
Ay thenk yew.

It was -20 odd. We left one in the drawer for 2 days when it never got above -10. Having finally stolen the dogs beds to free it up...he only went and put another one in there !!!! he needs a course on any kind of efficiency. Even Italian efficiency would suffice. There is a reason why I have promoted myself to chief mechanic...

Are they thawed out yet. I hope the 'mixture' has not expanded during freezing. Might be worth putting them into large plastic bags in case of frost fracture.
