Just looked at January and February 1947. Shame I wasn't alive then,
although I'd be older now :-0

I was alive then, aged 4, so I don't remember it and from what my parents
told me subsequently I'm glad I didn't. They said I was a miserable and frozen
little thing, as was my brother, then aged 16 months. There was no such thing
as central heating and the lights kept going out. If Feb 2004 is like Feb 1947
I will be a miserable and frozen old bugger and I don't want it. Interesting
it may well be (yes!) but there's a time in one's life for everything and now
isn't it.
