Snow fell across the Midlands and south-east England preventing cricket at Buxton in the Peak Districk.
I can definitely confirm that the snow reached at least as far north as Manchester - I was almost 9 at the time and built a very small snowman.
Funnily enough I was telling my neighbour about it last week.

Assemble your exhaust with grease instead of gun gum and you'll get the Castrol R effect 
We were on the beach in Skeggy the year of the ladybird plague and you could shovel them up there were so many.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
