@red-leader, I don’t remember the schools closing, we were told to put on extra clothing to keep warm and instead of milk we were offered tea at the mid morning break and allowed to go home 1/2 hour early. Hard times indeed. I’m doing ok at the moment thanks.
Had no central heating or double glazed windows, had just started school, which did not shut not the namby namby situation we have now as soon as a bit of white stuff arrives.
@GrumpyPappa, likewise no central heating or double glazing at home 🥶 Couldn’t ride my bicycle to school or get the bus so I had to set of early and walk the mile to school.
