The message
from Martin contains these words: I really must get my books out of store - I'm pretty sure I've remembered correctly, though I freely admit that ICBW. If it's any consolation, I thought you were right and am busy trying to sort my memories out :-) I have an excuse I was only 6 in January 1947. So was I, but in April 1948 I was 8... I do remember going to school by tram and bus in Leeds right through that winter. I can't believe anybody would let a 6 year old do the same by themselves nowadays. I walked about two miles to school then - or it's possible I was back at boarding school. Nah. If I was at boarding school I couldn't have been at home - unless Easter was late that year. (I went to boarding school aged four, 'cos my father had been killed during the war and my mother was training as a physioterrorist. Then I went back to the same school for a time, but I can't remember exactly when, except that I was six.) There was also a very hot summer around the same time. Was it in 1946 or 1947? I think that was 1946, though that might have been rose-tinted speedwells in the immediate post-war euphonium. Over to Franz for a more mature recollection :-) If we are wrong at what point did we start naming winters after the year that December occurred in? I don't think we ever did. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
