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 :-)

You had lard AND coal, we just had coal (lard was a luxury!)

Yeah OK, so we were upper working class - we had a house as well.
Probably looked down on you, like I do today :-)
