I remember walking into a lampost as a child as you literally couldn't see
in front of your face. The deadening of all sound is another vivid memory. I
also recall whenever we drove from Essex to relatives in West London a smog
always seemed to appear when we hit Barking. The fog seems to be one thing
us older ones can all agree on!

Yep I can remember Manchester in the late 1950s when I was about 6 or 7, fogs
were so thick that if you put your hand out in front of your face you couldn't
see it barely and I exagerrate not. They were very sooty too. Always told to
cover my mouth. Yet by the mid 60s those fogs were a thing of the past. Thickest
fog I've seen in recent years was driving across the moor one night two years
ago. I nearly drove into a ditch, the visibility was that poor, circa 10 metres
in hill fog.
