snip Now that reminds me of the snow in 1947 - and I only missed 1 day
at
school, and it wasn't closed and I had to travel 5 or 6 miles from the
village. Having got there I was sent home in case the buses stopped
running - but they didn't. The next day my parents did think the snow
was a bit too deep to send me to school but after that it was school as
usual!

I travelled across Leeds by tram and bus to go to school in 1947, I never
missed
a day

I do NOT believe you and Jennifer are old enough to have been at school in
1947!

I certainly am. I can believe Jennifer is too.

I can remember the cold winter and chilblains of 1944 too.


Should I now call you Father Time? ;-)
