Dunkield Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 It has been about 44 years(?) since we had a realy cold winter, it's a little bit chilly outside, nothing more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Outlaw Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 The last bad snow we had in these ere parts was some 35 years ago, I can remember trudging to school in 3ft of snow. People could drive in those days as well. None of the really bad accidents you get these days I know there are more cars but the ratio of cars to bad drivers has gone up big time.

Do you have a cat older than you? Yep it is true the schools all stayed open as well because nearly all of the teachers lived in the same village as the schools. If it was like when I was a boy 35 years ago, this country would have ground to a hault by now. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
