Re: Were you cold as a child ?
No, I was the complete opposite. We lived in a modern maisonette with central heating. Hot air was forced around the rooms via air vents. It was always warm and I was always warm. I thought nothing of jumping straight into the sea, even in England. I wouldn't like to try it now though.Re: Were you cold as a child ?
You in the UK may scoff at this but yes there were times that I was cold as a young child. IN the middle of a Sydney winter it can get quite cold and the wind chill can take it down to zero in the wee hours sometimes. Luckily I was tucked up in a warm bed at that age. I spent my teenage years in Perth and the only time I remember feeling really cold was falling asleep on the beach and waking up pre dawn after the fire has gone out with just board shorts and a T shirt. THat was pretty cold.As an adult I have felt cccccold. Chicago in winter, NOrthern Scotland etc. NOw that is cold.Re: Were you cold as a child ?
Muddy I was pretty much the same as you, an open fire was the one source of heat.Re: Were you cold as a child ?
Being cold was almost normal, we lived in a modern built house ( 1962) but for some reason it still had just one small coal fire to heat the whole thing.Re: Were you cold as a child ?
The winter of 1963 - the coldest for more than 200 yearsRe: Were you cold as a child ?
Yes in winter we were always cold, I remember the stone hot water bottles that were put in the bed to warm our feet. in the winter we always had heavy snow, and walking to school and sitting there with wet feet, after sliding in the playground and icicles hanging from the windowsills, and the open fire which only warmed up that living roomThread Tools | |
