Thanks for posting Jim, the year I started work, on the railway! I shall never forget cycling 6 miles to work in the snow, 6 days a week.  Engine cleaners got  £3 15/-  for a 48hr week. The Midland Red bus cost 42p per week! which is why I biked. The amount of snow around Banbury was staggering.All we did was keep braziers alight 24/7 around the locos to try and stop them freezing up.

We were at Little Rissington - at 750 feet, facing straight at it on the top of the hill. We couldn't open the upstairs windows at the front of the house. It was quite entertaining, having been in Malta for the preceding few years...
