  Lived in London back then, our school didn't close, but it was cold in the classrooms, remember keeping our coats & hats on, but then it was just as cold at home, no central heating just coal fires in a couple of rooms so we didn't really take much notice.
  Remember having the old lady next door in our house every time it got really cold, so grew up with an "extra gran". Local shops opened,but expect they did run out of things. Yes your right Barry people did work closer to home so it was not such a big problem. We only had 2 cars in the whole street back then, so everyone either walked or caught the bus.
