It was in Clayton.
I wont say the name because it was so long ago that it is likely to be under different ownership now.

The council dept told me that they would arrange an unannounced look in their fridges.

Oh seems possibly a popular occurrence locally. The one in accy was prosecuted fer it n twas in the L.E.T. or Observer. Thats how i knew about it, used to use the place n always tasted fine, after a gallon or so of bitter.

Well, I know I thought it a little chilly the other day, it seems however that is only the start, all sorts of predictions about coldest night on record, an absolute without a doubt, white krimbo for everyone and other record weather based breaking of records since they began.

Hang on though, I remember frost on the inside of windows, chilblains because you had to walk a mile and a half to school then sit there all day steaming because the pipes for the heating had frozen during the night and the caretaker therefore couldn't light the boiler.
Where we sent home? No, we sat there damp and miserable in front of damp and miserable teachers that traveled miles to teach us.

What will happen over the next fortnight?

Teachers and parents each having equipped themselves with 4X4's, (just in case).
Will refuse to take them out of their garages in case they get damaged.

The result of which is???

Loads and loads of kids get time off to go out sledging, building snowmen and generally doing what kids will do no matter how cold it is.

If I'm right I might even wear a top hat give and them something to aim at with their snowballs.
