Default Severe Cold weather

The Met Office weather warnings, such as they, serve to remind us of just
how soft we have become. We didn't have people telling us to wrap up warm in
years gone by, no one to advise on filling a hot-water bottle, or how it
might be a good idea to put an extra overcoat on the bed. You have to wonder
just how we all coped!



Yes I wonder as well, given that these are the same people that seem to
be the first to succumb whenever it does get cold.

It is terrible sometimes in the bridge club, some of them wail in
protest if you dare open the window for a few minutes, and that is in
the summer as well.
