Re: I know a man . . .
At the end of the day it's his money, he can do what he wants with it. Polishing a boat is a worthy exercise, especially if the boat would not be otherwise polished. 'Onesies' can now be bought for a few beer tokens, thus warmth and gleaming hull for free; wonderful!

Re: I know a man . . .
I've noticed that hull polishing generates considerable heat.
Winter fuel allowance is for the production of heat.
Where's the disconnect?
