No you're not! I recall not missing one day's school in the winter of

62-63 in South Lincolnshire.

No, I don't think we did either.

I know the Secondary Modern kids did miss a day, but that was only because their school bus slid off the road and ended up in a ditch, but apart from one broken leg I think there were no serious casualties.
