I always remember as a child in late 50's - early 60's walking to school in very deep snow and my dad and other dads in the street digging a trench for all us kids to walk to school! .. no school closures or anything like that in those days! also remember actually walking home from school in secondary school about 3 or 4 miles (eccleston to parr!) quite regularly in knee-deep snow with my friend through recreation park and we would stop at her nan's for a drink before continuing home!

Skyman said - how did we survive,,,,,,,,but we did ,didnt we Vinty
We did Skyman but sometimes I wonder how we did, they were certainly hard times but when you cast your mind back to our Parents time it was much harder,
My Mum was a just a slave up at 5.30am every morning for years.to make sure that we got up to a warm room and ate a good breakfast with none of the Labour saving devices that we all take for granted today.
Even in my younger days I cycled 4 or 5 miles to work every day whatever the weather did a days work and Cycled home perhaps it was the excercise that has helped to give us long life.

i think it was through not knowing what we were missing by being born
at that period,there were worse times to have been born than the thirties
but they to didnt know what the future held,
