Originally posted by NickFitz View PostI was a baby then, less than one year old, and almost died of pneumonia that winter. My parents were among the few people on their road who'd had the foresight to lay in a stock of coal, but almost ran out due to less well-organised neighbours begging for the loan of a bucket of it at times when the coalman couldn't make it through.
That reminds me of the current discussion of winter tyres. My father had a set of "Town and Country" tyres he would get fitted every winter, even back then. I think they probably fell out of favour when radials took over from cross-plies.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Only took me one-and-a-half hours to drive the one-and-a-half miles home. (Well, that's walking distance; with the one-way system, probably more like one-and-three-quarter miles.)
That's all city driving, too: I was parked in a city centre car park, and I live on one of the main roads into the city centre.Comment

Just popped out to Waitrose. Roads are fine but almost empty. Still plenty of white stuff on the pavements that will be well dodgy tomorrow after it freezes tonight.
Took the dog out for a walk and she came home with a nose like Daniella Westbrook.Comment
