1 inch of snow here in East Yorkshire and the schools are closed. I went 7

years in the 60's without a closure once. Hey I'm sounding like an old

fart - yeah!



I know what you mean Trevor, I walked to school in some bad blizzards in

the 60s but today they only have to see a snowflake





Walk you walked?

The snow was so bad at times when I was a lad we had to crawl on our knees

through t'snow as the wind was so strong you couldn't stand up. And that

was after a breakfast of lard and coal :-)


Yes we have all seen that sketch from many decades ago, thankyou.
