I answered you in another ng, but hopefully one of our resident climate
historians can answer your question about the Thames freezing over in
January 1940. I gave you the 17th (or just after) as a possible date.


Does anyone have any material that suggests the Thames was so frozen it
would allow people to walk on it during that month.

Yes thanks indeed. Someone else, and I am unable to find it now I want it
:-(( added that it may have been either the 8th or the 10th, but who is
arguing? Not me, just grateful that I havn't been dreaming it for the last
60 odd years!!

My sister is 5 years older than me and I feel sure she said that she pushed
my onto, as opposed to 'into' the Thames when I was in my pram.
