My gosh, snow drifts a whole inch thick. What is the world coming to?
When I was a boy it was expected of you to go out, dig a snow hole, spend a night in it and make tea and crumpets, for at least two guests.
Ah yes, I remember, it must have been what '72, '73. the winter was so cold that the sexegenarians had to hack the ice in the north sea to get their New Years dip.
Bah, the young people of today, don't know the meaning of cold. I tell you....rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubard, waffle, waffe, waffle and (for effect) quamquat.
