[Danbury Doug]

I remember the drought of '76 and the storm of '87 too, although I don't go back quite as far as '62.
Funny thing is my dad's bay, in that '87 storm, escaped with not one mark on it... yet there were smahed roof tiles and debris all round it! :? :lol:

I was born an old git, cantacerous and grumpy, when I wer a lad it snowed 4 months at a time, it snowed so hard it made yer head bleed......

 

[Paulwillie1000]

i was born in 61, there was no snow days when i was a kid, and when the oil deliveries couldnt get through we had to wear coats in the class room to keep warm as there was no heating, good days,ice slides in the playground, snowball fights and not a sign a health and safety policy! no bloody wii, ps3,xbox360 etc either ,it was outside allday long,
i am officially an old git, as the other half will testify, even have the grumpy old man mug!

im not a old git, mearly like two 18 year olds :lol:
year of the greenfly sticks in my mind, and the year we were plagued with ladybirds.
ice on the inside of bedroom windows, no central heating, just a coal fire in the lounge and having to get dressed under the blankets.(before quilts were out) im still a stickler for turning my heating down at night, and sending the kids to bed with hot water bottles :mrgreen:
