My bedroom window was always covered in ice on the inside years back and the schools closed down because the boilers packed in and we had to suffer the black outs too

I remember when they couldn't get the horses out of the stable to pull the cart that we had to use to get to the pit to do a 25 hour shift 8 days a week

Coal, you lucky bastards we had to burn Dogshit to keep warm.

Dogshit ... lucky bastards, we were so hungry we had to eat the dog

[Guest Guest]

posh bastards we couldn't afford a dog!

Seriously though, I remember tucking the curtains on to the window sill to keep the heat in and they'd be frozen to the windows some times and you used to get wicked jack frost patterns on the glass.

Our school was 400 yards from our house, so we didn't have the luxury of not getting to school on snow days, unless the teachers couldn't. Ere, remember the big snow in 1982 - made a monster sized snowman that year
