the forecast is snow for the weekend, in the 1960s  our transport kept moving despite the weather
[ as this film shows ]   no gizmos or i.t  !!

Can't see how they would get a steam engine to go through the channel tunnel though. lol

Human beings shovelling snow off the lines, they would all be on disability benefit on day two nowadays...

I must now be amongst those classified as those deemed `old` ;D

I remember that winter--walking(yes walking) to primary school that was open,cold hands warmed on coke fired radiators and then school as normal.

And `snowballing`or sliding on carefully tended ice runs-and no HSE wallies to spoil the fun or parents phoning compensation lawyers if someone got a small scrath on their knee.

Cleo-at 31 so must I!! I remember my fantastic headteacher at primary school encouraging us to slide around the playground and have snowball fights. Birmingham would be covered in snow and ice and I think we had one day off when the school was closed in all my school years!  >:(

Those WERE the good old days. At 61 I remember them well. Well I think I do ;D ;D ;D. OH has the DVD of that clip, he loves trains, bless. My grandchildren are encouraged to be out in it & love it.
