As a special concession during the British winter of 1962-63, one of the coldest on record, we were allowed to wear long trousers
Lucky fellows. In the ferocious winter of '47-'48, the subject of long trousers wasn't even raised... I spent a lot of it curled up in front of a one-bar electric fire, drawing. As you do...
During the power cuts, there was another room in which we had an anthracite stove, which I remember as being hard work, and not terribly effective.
