Watching the Telly this morning it was saying that temps got down to -10 last night around here, which started me thinking about when I was a kid. In the good old days there was very few houses with central heating, no double glazing, baths or inside toilets, no wall to wall carpets, just a little square next to the bed if you were lucky, how the hell did we survive. It was tatas every morning, windows were covered with Jack Frost, then it was down the yard to the outside bog, tin bath in front of the fire and if you were cold in bed it was Dads old trench coat thrown over your bed. Schools were never shut because it was to cold, it was a matter of keep your coats on this morning its a bit parky in her today. Oh how we loved those good old days
