I believe you are thinking of 1987 rather than 1982.

sorry, it *was* 1982 - I have the Met Office diary and data sheet I
wrote at the time in front of me now!

It was 1982. We'd recently arrived from western Canada and were living
in a bedsit in Surrey (large Victorian room with bay window, heated only
by a small 3-bar gas fire; shared bathroom and kitchen were unheated). I
have never been so cold in my life before or since!
