Can you imagine that now, children being allowed to walk

No, as it is a bloody stupid thing to do.

No because it doesn't get cold enough, for long enough, to freeze lakes
deep enough, to get ice thick enough to take the weight.

Haven't seen a frozen lake let alone one with thick ice for decades. Last
time must be the mid 70's. Earlswood canal reservoirs. We have family
pictures from '63 taken on the frozen *River* Avon at Stratford-on-Avon.
